Welcome to the IDA Machine Learning Seminar on February 22, 15:15-16:15.

Speaker: Marcus Bendtsen<https://liu.se/en/employee/marbe92>, Department of Health, Medicine, and Caring Sciences (HMV), Linköping University

Title: How Epidemiology and Behavioural Trials are (slowly) adopting the Bayesian Paradigm and Causal Inference Language

Abstract: In this seminar, Dr. Marcus Bendtsen will give a progress report on his mission to introduce (force) the Bayesian paradigm into public health research (and widely in medical research). He will give real-world examples of trials that would have benefitted from Bayesian analysis rather than the prevailing null-hypothesis testing framework so often adopted in medicine and public health and show examples of more recent trials which have been designed from the bottom up to be "Bayesian". Dr. Bendtsen will also discuss how causal graphs are powerful for teaching basic concepts and challenges of epidemiological research to those who do not have any prior experience, and how even simple causal graphs (and inference) can have a lot of value in public health.
