Bayesian modelling with brms package

From research question to final report, unleashing the full potential of brms

This repository contains all the data needed to complete the "Bayesian modelling using the brms package" here

Data available here, from the Living Planet Index (full details here)

Tutorial information:

This tutorial is aimed at people with a prior understanding of beginner-level modelling, R coding and RStudio. It builds on two tutorials created by the Coding Club. Those tutorials are:

  • Meta-analysis for biologists using MCMCglmm (an introduction to the MCMCglmm package) available here
  • Generalised linear models in Stan (using the Rstanarm and brms packages to run Stan models) available here

This tutorial should teach you how to create, assess, present and troubleshoot a brm model.

Please open the tutorial in Safari if possible to be sure to view all the Figures properly (some output figures don't show up in Chrome for some reason).
