Description for Applied Bayesian Modelling
Hardcover. Bayesian statistics uses information from past experience to infer the results of future events. With recent advances in computing power and the development of computer intensive methods for statistical estimation, Bayesian approaches to model estimation have become more feasible and popular. Series: Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics. Num Pages: 478 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: JHBC; PBT; PDE; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 255 x 178 x 32. Weight in Grams: 1016.
The use of Bayesian statistics has grown significantly in recent years, and will undoubtedly continue to do so. Applied Bayesian Modelling is the follow-up to the author's best selling book, Bayesian Statistical Modelling, and focuses on the potential applications of Bayesian techniques in a wide range of important topics in the social and health sciences. The applications are illustrated through many real-life examples and software implementation in WINBUGS - a popular software package that offers a simplified and flexible approach to statistical modelling. The book gives detailed explanations for each example - explaining fully the choice of model for each ... Read more
