INSTRUCTOR

“David Fletcher's Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling course is excellent. The lectures, examples, and exercises are based on real ecological data collected from a variety of approaches, including mark-recapture, distance sampling, community science, and more. There is good (but not overwhelming) discussion of the mathematics underlying the models and emphasis on model fit, refinement, and selection. I was quickly able to apply the techniques I learned in this course to my own messy dataset, which helped get me past some of the challenges I was facing using a frequentist approach.

Dr. Fletcher is a very informative instructor and did a good job laying the foundations of the statistical/Bayesian principles before going through the code. His way of walking through the code was extremely helpful and allowed me to comment on the code in a way that I was able to return to later. I really appreciated how he emphasized the reasoning why he prefers doing things a certain way but that there are other ways to do things, and gave you resources to look into them. This helped me understand the reasoning behind the model structure and think through how various concepts applied to my situation. The quizzes after the lectures especially challenged critical thinking of these concepts and he was quick to respond as you posed questions.
