Product Review
Praise for the Previous Editions
… particularly recommend the book to practicing biometricians who want to explore the potential for using Bayesian methods in their own work.
—Biometrics, Vol. 57, No. 3, September 2001
The writing is excellent and the worked examples are also excellent for understanding the methods. In summary, I recommend [it] for advanced graduate students and all research workers.
—Olaf Berke, Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, January 2001
… an important and timely addition to applied statistics … the writing is excellent, and the authors are able to present an amazing amount of material cogently in [a] smaller book … the reader reaps the benefits of being in the hands of a true master …
—Journal of American Statistical Association
Product Description
A Proven Text from Two Highly Respected Authors
Broadening its scope to nonstatisticians, Bayesian Methods for Data Analysis, Third Edition provides an accessible introduction to the foundations and applications of Bayesian analysis. Along with a complete reorganization of the material, this edition concentrates more on hierarchical Bayesian modeling as implemented via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods and related data analytic techniques.
New to the Third Edition New data examples, corresponding R and WinBUGS code, and homework problems Explicit descriptions and illustrations of hierarchical modeling—now commonplace in Bayesian data analysis A new chapter on Bayesian design that emphasizes Bayesian clinical trials A completely revised and expanded section on ranking and histogram estimation A new case study on infectious disease modeling and the 1918 flu epidemic
Ideal for Anyone Performing Statistical Analyses
Focusing on applications from biostatistics, epidemiology, and medicine, this text builds on the popularity of its predecessors by making it suitable for even more practitioners and students.
