  • Bayesian Logical Data Analysis for the Physical Sciencesby Phil Gregory

    Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 47.00

    Increasingly, researchers in many branches of science are coming into contact with Bayesian statistics or Bayesian probability theory. This book provides a clear exposition of the underlying concepts with large numbers of worked examples and problem sets. Background material is provided in appendices and supporting Mathematica notebooks are available. more...

  • Bayesian Approaches to Clinical Trials and Health-Care Evaluationby David J. Spiegelhalter; Keith R. Abrams; Jonathan P. Myles

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 90.00

    READ ALL ABOUT IT! David Spiegelhalter has recently joined the ranks of Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Stephen Hawking by becoming a fellow of the Royal Society. Originating from the Medical Research Council’s biostatistics unit, David has played a leading role in the Bristol heart surgery and Harold Shipman inquiries.   Order a copy of this author’s comprehensive text TODAY!  The Bayesian approach involves synthesising data and judgement in order to reach conclusions about unknown quantities and make predictions. Bayesian methods have become increasingly popular in recent years, notably in medical research, and although there are a number of books on Bayesian analysis, few cover clinical trials and biostatistical... more...

  • Applied Bayesian Modellingby Peter Congdon

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 130.00

    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 particular problem. The book · Provides a broad and comprehensive... more...

  • Bayesian Artificial Intelligenceby Kevin B. Korb; Ann E. Nicholson

    Chapman & Hall/CRC 2003; US$ 89.95

    With Bayesian network technology very much on the up-swing in industry and government, there is an increasing need for an introductory book that jointly emphasizes the understanding of its underlying priniciples and their application in practice. more...

  • Applied Bayesian Modeling and Causal Inference from Incomplete-Data Perspectivesby Andrew Gelman; Xiao-Li Meng

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 125.00

    This book brings together a collection of articles on statistical methods relating to missing data analysis, including multiple imputation, propensity scores, instrumental variables, and Bayesian inference. Covering new research topics and real-world examples which do not feature in many standard texts. The book is dedicated to Professor Don Rubin (Harvard). Don Rubin  has made fundamental contributions to the study of missing data. Key features of the book include: Comprehensive coverage of an imporant area for both research and applications. Adopts a pragmatic approach to describing a wide range of intermediate and advanced statistical techniques. Covers key topics such as multiple imputation, propensity... more...

  • Bayesian Models for Categorical Databy Peter Congdon

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2005; US$ 120.00

    The use of Bayesian methods for the analysis of data has grown substantially in areas as diverse as applied statistics, psychology, economics and medical science. Bayesian Methods for Categorical Data sets out to demystify modern Bayesian methods, making them accessible to students and researchers alike. Emphasizing the use of statistical computing and applied data analysis, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to Bayesian methods of categorical outcomes. * Reviews recent Bayesian methodology for categorical outcomes (binary, count and multinomial data). * Considers missing data models techniques and non-standard models (ZIP and negative binomial). * Evaluates time series and spatio-temporal models for discrete data. * Features discussion... more...

  • Multivariate Bayesian Statisticsby Daniel B. Rowe

    CRC Press 2002; US$ 109.95

    Of the two primary approaches to the classic source separation problem, only one does not impose potentially unreasonable model and likelihood constraints: the Bayesian statistical approach. This guide offers a thorough, self-contained treatment of the problem, using the "cocktail-party" analogy. more...

  • Handbook of Statisticsby Dipak K. Dey; C.R. Rao

    Elsevier 2005; US$ 285.00

    This volume describes how to develop Bayesian thinking, modelling and computation both from philosophical, methodological and application point of view. It further describes parametric and nonparametric Bayesian methods for modelling and how to use modern computational methods to summarize inferences using simulation. The book covers wide range of topics including objective and subjective Bayesian inferences with a variety of applications in modelling categorical, survival, spatial, spatiotemporal, Epidemiological, software reliability, small area and micro array data. The book concludes with a chapter on how to teach Bayesian thoughts to nonstatisticians. Key Features: - Critical thinking on causal effects - Objective Bayesian philosophy... more...

  • Bayes Linear Statistics, Theory & Methodsby Michael Goldstein; David Wooff

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2007; US$ 160.00

    Bayesian methods combine information available from data with any prior information available from expert knowledge. The Bayes linear approach follows this path, offering a quantitative structure for expressing beliefs, and systematic methods for adjusting these beliefs, given observational data. The methodology differs from the full Bayesian methodology in that it establishes simpler approaches to belief specification and analysis based around expectation judgements. Bayes Linear Statistics presents an authoritative account of this approach, explaining the foundations, theory, methodology, and practicalities of this important field. The text provides a thorough coverage of Bayes linear analysis, from the development of the basic language... more...

  • Bayesian Statistical Modellingby Peter Congdon

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2007; US$ 110.00

    Bayesian methods combine the evidence from the data at hand with previous quantitative knowledge to analyse practical problems in a wide range of areas. The calculations were previously complex, but it is now possible to routinely apply Bayesian methods due to advances in computing technology and the use of new sampling methods for estimating parameters. Such developments together with the availability of freeware such as WINBUGS and R have facilitated a rapid growth in the use of Bayesian methods, allowing their application in many scientific disciplines, including applied statistics, public health research, medical science, the social sciences and economics. Following the success of the first edition, this reworked and updated book provides... more...
