Complete course materials for the Bayesian Data Analysis course (CS-E5710) at Aalto University, taught by Aki Vehtari and based on the BDA3 textbook by Gelman et al. The repository contains lecture notes, slides, exercises, videos, and R/Python demos, all licensed for reuse in other courses.

Use cases

• learn bayesian data analysis from a university course
• self-study bayesian inference and MCMC methods
• find exercises and demos for bayesian statistics
• reuse bayesian course material for teaching my own class
• learn computational bayesian methods with r and python
• supplement the BDA3 book with videos and assignments
• understand bayesian workflow for data analysis

When to choose

• you want structured, university-grade material for learning Bayesian data analysis alongside the BDA3 textbook
• you are an instructor looking for freely reusable course content, slides, and exercises
• you prefer learning computational aspects of Bayesian statistics through hands-on R and Python demos
• you want up-to-date material that is refreshed each course term

When to avoid

• you need a software library or tool for performing Bayesian inference - use Stan, PyMC, or similar instead
• you want a self-contained textbook rather than supplementary course material
• you need commercial-use rights - the text and videos are CC-BY-NC licensed
• you are looking for frequentist or general statistics education rather than Bayesian methods
