More About This Textbook
Overview
The lively introductory chapter on Fisherian methods (the frequency approach), together with a strong overall emphasis on likelihood, makes the text suitable, for mainstream statistics courses whose instructors wish to follow mixed or comparative philosophies. A chapter on advances in utility theory, and several sections on time series and forecasting, makes the text also suitable for quantitative economics students. The other chapters contain material on the linear model, categorical data analysis, survival analysis, random-effects models, and nonlinear smoothing. The book contains numerous worked examples, self-study exercises, and practical applications. It provides essential reading for final-year undergraduates, Masters-degree and graduate students, statisticians, and other interdisciplinary researchers wishing to develop good-quality conclusions from their data and to pursue the notion of scientific truth.
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"The book provides a solid, well-written introduction to the basic tenets of Bayesian modeling, and deserves serious consideration for adoption for a graduate-level introduction to Bayesian methods." Journal of the American Statistical Association"This book provides excellent up-to-date coverage of modern Bayesian statistics...clearly written and at a reasonably high level." Mathematical Reviews
"Bayesian Methods is pregnant with detailed examples, pulled primarily from recent literature, especially from contributions by the authors. Rather than serving simply as illustrations of results in the text, these examples are an integral part of the authors' development. What is more, they are interesting. They endow the theory with life and draw the reader deeper into the text. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in Bayesian methods. I look forward to using it in the classroom."
