OctopusPrime Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Could anyone provide a list of statistics and biostatistics departments that are considered friendly to Bayesian methods? I am not a Bayesian hard-liner, but would like to attend a program where I can get a very solid foundation in both Bayesian and frequentist methods, and write a Bayesian dissertation if I develop in that direction. And I'm interested in all relevant departments, not just top 10. Edited September 11, 2015 by OctopusPrime
littlemoondragon Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 While I am not in biostats, I know that University of Michigan and Harvard are Bayesian friendly schools. (Source: My advisor is a Bayesianist and graduated from University of Michigan under Roderick Little and a friend graduate from Harvard). The same friend that graduate from Harvard also received her undergraduate from University of Washington (UW). I initially thought UW was a Bayesian friendly department, but I saw your other post and cyberwulf said otherwise. I am unsure now.Another place is Duke University. Jerry Reiter is a big name in Duke's statistics department and he does Bayesian Statistics - he was a student of Ruben from Harvard.
bayessays Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 For statistics, Duke is considered the leading Bayesian program. Some new programs like UT-Austin, UC Santa Cruz and to a lesser extent UC-Irvine are also heavily Bayesian.For biostatistics, Minnesota has many Bayesians including Brad Carlin. Michigan also has a sizable group of Bayesians.
