ISBN: 9780470141144.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hands-on introduction to the principles of Bayesian modeling using WinBUGS\nBayesian Modeling Using WinBUGS provides an easily accessible introduction to the use of WinBUGS programming techniques in a variety of Bayesian modeling settings. The author provides an accessible treatment of the topic, offering readers a smooth introduction to the principles of Bayesian modeling with detailed guidance on the practical implementation of key principles.\nThe book begins with a basic introduction to Bayesian inference and the WinBUGS software and goes on to cover key topics, including:\nMarkov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms in Bayesian inference\nGeneralized linear models\nBayesian hierarchical models\nPredictive distribution and model checking\nBayesian model and variable evaluation\nComputational notes and screen captures illustrate the use of both WinBUGS as well as R software to apply the discussed techniques. Exercises at the end of each chapter allow readers to test their understanding of the presented concepts and all data sets and code are available on the books related Web site.\nRequiring only a working knowledge of probability theory and statistics, Bayesian Modeling Using WinBUGS serves as an excellent book for courses on Bayesian statistics at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the fields of statistics, actuarial science, medicine, and the social sciences who use WinBUGS in their everyday work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986890354741,"sku":"ByrdShop_047014114X","price":137.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780470141144_c6387f9e-2d4a-46dd-8419-7ac481ef083c.jpg?v=1778673868","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bayesian-modeling-using-winbugs-wiley-series-in-computational-statistics-9780470141144","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
