Bayesian inference? Bayesian modelling of cell count data, Bristol Data Week 2024

Bristol Data Week is a platform for learning, discussion, and exploration of data science and AI applications. It offers a valuable opportunity for researchers, external partners, and community groups interested in technology and its societal impact to connect and collaborate. The event encourages the growth of existing networks while fostering the development of new connections. There has been a revolution in Bayesian inference, the new Hamiltonian / Hybrid Monte Carlo samplers have made it much easier to apply Bayesian approaches. In this talk, Dr Connor Houghton described how a partial pooling Bayesian model can find results in these data in cases where more traditional statistical approaches fail. Although this is a neuroscience example, the approach will be useful for anyone with "rectangular" data, that is, data with lots of variables but very few measurements.
