Go beyond descriptive analytics and enter the realm of probabilistic and causal reasoning with Bayesian networks. Learn all about designing and machine-learning Bayesian networks with BayesiaLab
This highly acclaimed course gives you a comprehensive introduction that allows you to employ Bayesian networks for applied research across many fields, such as biostatistics, decision science, econometrics, ecology, marketing science, sensory research, sociology, just to name a few.
The hallmark of this three-day course is that every segment on theory is immediately followed by a corresponding practice session using BayesiaLab. Thus, you have the opportunity to implement on your computer what the instructor just presented in his lecture. This includes knowledge modeling, probabilistic reasoning, causal inference, machine learning, probabilistic structural equation models, plus many more examples. Given the strictly limited class size, the instructor is always available to coach you one-on-one as you progress through the exercises.
After the end of the course, you can continue your studies as you will have access to your training BayesiaLab license. The BayesiaLab's Media Center will give you access to the slides, as well as a complete recording of the seminar.
To date, over 1,500 researchers from all over the world have taken this course. For most of them, Bayesian networks and BayesiaLab have become crucial tools in their research.
We propose four types of training sessions:
In conjunction with the seminars, participants have access to an unrestricted 90-Day license of BayesiaLab Professional (the very latest release), so they can experiment with the full array of functions during and after the training.
During these 90 days, participants will have access to a complete recording of the session via the BayesiaLab's Media Center.

Virtual Reality means that the instructor and all students are virtually present in a private classroom at the Laval Virtual World. Our virtual classroom looks just like a physical seminar room. It features individual desks for students, a podium, plus multiple presentation screens. What's different is that your avatar is in the classroom on your behalf, while you are in the comfort of your home, anywhere in the world.
The classes are limited to a maximum of 15 participants in order to allow for one-on-one coaching during the hands-on exercises with BayesiaLab. This small-group format provides a productive yet informal learning environment that facilitates a lively dialogue between participants from a wide range of backgrounds.
Take a look at the following video snippets to get a sense of what our VR course looks and feels like.https://player.vimeo.com/video/462608786
You see and hear everything in the classroom. You have a perfectly clear view of the presentation screen, able to zoom in to see all details. So, there is no more tinkering with room lights and projector focus, and no one can obscure your view.
The same applies to acoustics. Your audio is perfect, and you can clearly hear what everyone says—even the guy in the far corner of the room with a really soft voice. Also, you can speak with individuals, address the whole class, or privately ask questions.
And, the technology requirements are straightforward. All you need is a computer with a headset and microphone. You won't even need a camera, as your customizable avatar is your public persona in our virtual world.
Also, you can share the screen of your local computer, so the instructor can "look over your shoulder" and coach you through the exercises with BayesiaLab.

Discounts are available for:
Livestream participants have access to the slides directly via BayesiaLab, and have access to a reliable livestream of the session, showing what is projected on screen to on-site participants.
During the 3-day seminar, the participants have access to BayesiaLab Professional Edition to be able to participate in the exercises.
After the seminar, participants will have access to a 60-Day license of BayesiaLab Education Edition. It is functionally equivalent to the full commercial edition of BayesiaLab Professional used during the training session, with the following exceptions:
Offline participants have access to the slides and a complete recording of the latest 3-day seminar (in-person or virtual reality) via the BayesiaLab's Media Center.
There is no mechanism to submit individual questions to the instructor, nor support for the hands-on activities.
