Abstract:
|
Bayesian statistics is just another chapter at the end of the semester in mathematical statistics sequences for which much time is not allocated. Students consider it as another section of statistics rather than a totally different way to look at the entire field of statistics. In this talk, the author will discuss his effort to introduce Bayesian concepts to several statistics classes at undergraduate level. Especially the Bayesian approach to confidence intervals, hypotheses testing, and analysis of variance will be discussed. Difficulties of teaching for the instructor and difficulties of understanding for the students will also be discussed.
