The future package in R provides a unified abstraction for asynchronous and/or parallel computation. It allows R expressions to be scheduled for future evaluation, with the result retrieved later, in a way decoupled from the specific backend used. This lets code be written in a way that works with sequential execution, multicore, multisession, cluster, or remote compute backends, without changing the high-level code.

The 2023 edition modernizes and expands on the same curriculum, adjusting exercises and code for newer versions of R, Stan, and supporting packages. It continues to provide scripts for lectures and tutorials, while integrating refinements to examples, notation, and computational workflows introduced that year. Compared with 2022, some models are rewritten for clarity, and teaching materials reflect refinements in McElreath’s evolving presentation of Bayesian data analysis. Students following...

...The code emphasizes Bayesian data analysis using R, the rethinking package, and Stan models. It includes lecture code files, example datasets, and structured exercises that parallel the topics covered in the lectures (probability, regression, model comparison, Bayesian updating). The repo functions as a direct hands-on reference for students following the 2022 recorded lecture series. There are 10 weeks of instruction. Links to lecture recordings will appear in this table. Weekly problem sets are assigned on Fridays and due the next Friday, when we discuss the solutions in the weekly online meeting.
