*Target audience:
This course is for data analyst who are familiar with classical statistics
and they want to get a working knowledge in Bayesian analysis. This is a 
3 days
intensive training course with 8 hours per day including lecturing and 
exercises.
The course presentation is practical with many worked examples. To 
attend the
course you do NOT need experience with R or with WinBUGS. Lectures are given
