This course was given at Zurich University in February 2026 as part of the phd training program.
February 2026 I had the honor to give another updated iteration of the BAR workshop. This time for the researchers at Zurich University, as part of the phd training program. All materials are bundled together at one single place:

There you will find the slides, datasets, and links to relevant background reading. R-code is also available via Github.
In this iteration of the workshop I gave more attention to thinking about priors within the context of Bayesian Mixed Effect Modeling. Also, you can find a separate Integrated exercises with solutions as well. This document might read as a tutorial on its own.
