0. [Self Study] Introduction to Julia from José Eduardo Storopoli
1. Sampling, random variables and distributions -- Lecture #1 Notebook
2. Bayesian thinking (Bernoulli / Binomial) -- Lecture #2 Notebook
3. Starting with simulation (Normal) -- Lecture #3 Notebook
4. Markov chain Monte Carlo -- Lecture #4 Notebook
5. Bayesian linear regression -- Lecture #5 Notebook
6. Bayesian Vector Autoregression (BVARs) -- Lecture #6 Notebook

R code for many of the lectures will also be uploaded, for those that are more comfortable using R. However, the main programming language for this course will be Julia. No familiarity with Julia is assumed. We will be starting from basic principles.
