The BIAS project

Bayesian methods for combining multiple Individual and Aggregate data Sources in observational studies.

BIAS, based at Imperial College, London, is a node of the Economic and Social Research Council's National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM).

The aims of the project are

To develop a set of statistical frameworks for combining data from multiple sources.
To improve the capacity of social science methods to handle the intricacies of observational data.

Bayesian hierarchical models will be used as the basic building blocks for these developments. These offer a natural tool for linking together many different sub-models and data sources.
