Applied Bayesian Modeling and Causal Inference from Incomplete-Data Perspectives
Wiley 2004; US$ 131.00This 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... more...
Applied Bayesian Modelling
Wiley 2003; US$ 136.00The 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... more...
Approximation Methods for Efficient Learning of Bayesian Networks
IOS Press 2008; US$ 119.00This publication offers and investigates efficient Monte Carlo simulation methods in order to realize a Bayesian approach to approximate learning of Bayesian networks from both complete and incomplete data. For large amounts of incomplete data when Monte Carlo methods are inefficient, approximations are implemented, such that learning remains feasible,... more...
Bayes Linear Statistics, Theory & Methods
Wiley 2007; US$ 167.00Bayesian 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... more...
Bayesian Approaches to Clinical Trials and Health-Care Evaluation
Wiley 2004; US$ 94.00READ 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... more...
Bayesian Argumentation
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99Relevant to, and drawing from, a range of disciplines, the chapters in this collection show the diversity, and applicability, of research in Bayesian argumentation. Together, they form a challenge to philosophers versed in both the use and criticism of Bayesian models who have largely overlooked their potential in argumentation. Selected from contributions... more...
Bayesian Artificial Intelligence
Chapman & Hall/CRC 2003; US$ 89.95With 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...
Bayesian Computation with R
Springer 2009; US$ 47.99There has been a dramatic growth in the development and application of Bayesian inferential methods. Some of this growth is due to the availability of powerful simulation-based algorithms to summarize posterior distributions. There has been also a growing interest in the use of the system R for statistical analyses. R's open source nature, free... more...
Bayesian Epistemology
OUP Oxford 2004; US$ 54.99Probabilistic models have much to offer to philosophy. We continually receive information from a variety of sources: from our senses, from witnesses, from scientific instruments. When considering whether we should believe this information, we assess whether the sources are independent, how reliable they are, and how plausible and coherent the information... more...
Bayesian Estimation and Tracking
Wiley 2012; US$ 125.00A practical approach to estimating and tracking dynamic systems in real-worl applications Much of the literature on performing estimation for non-Gaussian systems is short on practical methodology, while Gaussian methods often lack a cohesive derivation. Bayesian Estimation and Tracking addresses the gap in the field on both accounts, providing... more...
