Bayesian Methods for Data Analysis

Statistical Analysis Methods for the fMRI Data

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a safe and non-invasive way to assess brain functions by using signal changes associated with brain activity. The technique has become a ubiquitous tool in basic, clinical and cognitive neuroscience. This method can measure little metabolism changes that occur in active part of the brain. We process the fMRI data to be able to find the parts of br...

Teaching Bayesian Methods for Experimental Data Analysis

The innumerable articles denouncing the deficiencies of significance testing urge us to reform the teaching of statistical inference for experimental data analysis. Bayesian methods are a promising alternative. However, teaching the Bayesian approach should not introduce an abrupt changeover from the current frequentist procedures: at the very least, the two approaches should co-exist for many ...

Bayesian Methods for Integrated Data Analysis

A brief introduction to Bayesian probability theory is given with emphasis on data analysis. The analysis of Thomson scattering data is discussed. Capabilities for assessing diagnostic set-ups are outlined. Extension to more complex analyses aiming at an Integrated Data Analysis of fusion diagnostics are presented. The efforts are motivated both by physics and technical requirements of steady-s...
