Among Statisticians The Bayesian Approach Continues To Gain Adherents And This New Edition Of Peter Lee’s Classic Introduction Maintains The Clarity Of Exposition And Use Of Examples For Which The Text Is Known And Praised. In Addition, There Is Extended Coverage Of The Metropolis-hastings Algorithm As Well As An Introduction To The Use Of Bugs, As This Is Now The Standard Computational Tool For Such Numerical Work. Other Alterations Include New Material On Generalized Linear Modeling And Bernardo’s Theory Of Reference Points. 1. Preliminaries — 2. Bayesian Inference For The Normal Distribution — 3. Some Other Common Distributions — 4. Hypothesis Testing — 5. Two-sample Problems — 6. Correlation, Regression And The Analysis Of Variance — 7. Other Topics — 8. Hierarchical Models — 9. Gibbs Sampler And Other Numerical Methods. Peter M. Lee. Includes Bibliographical References (p. [337]-346) And Index.
