tutorial
Definition
A tutorial refers to educational instructional material designed to guide users through complex procedures or concepts in an accessible manner. In the context of statistical software development, tutorials serve as bridges between advanced analytical methods and practical application by helping researchers with limited statistical or programming experience understand and implement sophisticated techniques. The easybgm package includes educational vignettes that function as tutorials, walking researchers through the process of Bayesian analysis step-by-step to lower barriers to entry and make previously inaccessible analytical approaches more usable for applied researchers in the social sciences.

Tutorial and Accessibility
Tutorials play a critical role in making complex statistical methods accessible to applied researchers who lack advanced statistical knowledge or programming experience. Educational vignettes included in the easybgm package serve this function by demonstrating how to conduct Bayesian analysis of graphical models through guided instruction.
