Beyond the basics with CBC/HB and HB-Reg

John Howell, Sawtooth Software, Inc.
This tutorial is designed for intermediate hierarchical Bayes users. It will cover the advanced settings in CBC/HB, including the attribute settings and coding methods, interactions and how they are used, prior variance and prior degrees of freedom, demographic filters, constraints, and convergence. Attendees should have a basic understating of how to operate CBC/HB. The tutorial will also briefly cover HB-Reg and how to best structure the data for use in the program.

Laptop computers are not required for this class, but attendees not familiar with the software are encouraged to download the CBC/HB and HB-Reg demos. The demos can be downloaded from either http://www.skimgroup.com/software/downloads or http://www.sawtoothsoftware.com/downloads.
