Bayesian Training
Bayesian Vaccine Efficacy Training equips statisticians with skills to construct priors, calculate posteriors, and evaluate vaccine efficacy using credible intervals, robustness assessments, and clear visual aids for solid, evidence-based choices in public health.

What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to Bayesian analysis of vaccine trial data. Learners will set up binomial models, create trial scenarios, develop priors from expert input on vaccine efficacy, and conduct Bayesian updates. It covers summarising posteriors, robustness testing, avoiding errors, and communicating uncertainty effectively to stakeholders in actual studies.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Bayesian VE modelling: quickly build and assess binomial vaccine efficacy models.
- Prior elicitation: convert expert opinions on VE into effective Beta priors.
- Posterior analysis: determine VE means, credible intervals, and Pr(VE>50%).
- Robustness checks: perform prior sensitivity tests, sceptical priors, and prior predictive checks.
- Communication: present Bayesian VE findings clearly to technical audiences.
