Coming Up: A Free Course Book on Bayesian Inference

Since 2017, Dora Matzke and I have been teaching the master course “Bayesian Inference for Psychological Science”. Over the years, the syllabus for this course matured into a book (and an accompanying book of answers) titled “Bayesian inference from the ground up: The theory of common sense”. The current plan is to finish the book in the next few months, and share the pdf publicly online. For now, I just like to show the cover, courtesy of our graphical artist Viktor Beekman:

You may recognize the girl on the cover as Miruna from “Bayesian thinking for toddlers“:

Miruna’s friend, Kate, graces the cover of the accompanying book of answers:
