Requirements to the exam -
Last update: doc. RNDr. Arnošt Komárek, Ph.D. (17.02.2023)

The subject is finalized by a tutorial credit and an exam. Only the students who have obtained the tutorial credit can attempt to take the exam. The exam is combined written and oral.

Tutorial credit requirements:

1. Regular small assignments: A student needs to prepare and deliver on time acceptable solutions to all assignments.

2. Project: A student needs to submit a project satisfying the requirements given in the assignment. A corrected version of an unsatisfactory project can be resubmitted once.

The nature of these requirements precludes any possibility of additional attempts to obtain the tutorial credit.

Syllabus -
Last update: doc. RNDr. Arnošt Komárek, Ph.D. (29.10.2019)

Bayes theorem and its use, prior and posterior distribution, methods to choose a prior distribution.

Statistical decision functions.

Bayes point estimators and their properties. Credible sets.

Bayes hypothesis testing, some special tests.

Some special bayesian approches, basics of MCMC.
