Three educational and engaging competitions are described for students studying Bayesian statistics. These competitions are designed to help students explore the topics of James-Stein estimation, the German tank problem, and resampling inference. These competitions will inspire students to think creatively, challenge students to develop effective Bayesian models, and motivate students to pursue excellence in competition with their peers. The competition structures can be easily adapted for use in introductory or advanced Bayesian statistics courses.

Se describen tres concursos educativos y atractivos para los alumnos que estudian estadística bayesiana. Estos concursos están diseñados para ayudar a los estudiantes a explorar los temas del estimador de James-Stein, el problema de los tanques alemanes y la inferencia de remuestreo. Estos concursos inspirarán a los estudiantes a pensar de forma creativa, les desafiarán a desarrollar modelos bayesianos eficaces y les motivarán a buscar la excelencia en competencia con sus compañeros. Las estructuras de los concursos pueden adaptarse fácilmente para su uso en cursos de estadística bayesiana introductorios o avanzados.
