Bayesian Analyses Using SAS

• Bayesian Inference: Updating probabilities with new data using Bayes' theorem.

• Model Specification: Defining prior distributions and likelihood functions in SAS.

• Posterior Analysis: Estimating and interpreting posterior distributions.

• MCMC Methods: Applying Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques for complex models.

• Model Checking: Assessing the fit and validity of Bayesian models.
