The growth of biostatistics has been phenomenal in recent years and has been marked by considerable technical innovation in both methodology and computational practicality. One area that has experienced significant growth is Bayesian methods. The growing use of Bayesian methodology has taken place partly due to an increasing number of practitioners valuing the Bayesian paradigm as matching that of scientific discovery. In addition, computational advances have allowed for more complex models to be fitted routinely to realistic data sets. Through examples, exercises and a combination of introductory and more advanced chapters, this book provides an invaluable understanding of the complex ... Read more

Reviews for Bayesian Biostatistics
In conclusion, we consider the book by Lesaffre and Lawson a noteworthy contribution to the dissemination of Bayesian methods, and a good manual of reference for many common and some specialized applications in biomedical research. The great variety of examples and topics covered offers both advantages and disadvantages. Some parts might be too specialized for statistics students, but lecturers and ... Read more
