{"product_id":"applied-bayesian-statistics-mary-kathryn-cowles-9781489997043","title":"Applied Bayesian Statistics: With R and Openbugs Examples","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is based on over a dozen years teaching a Bayesian Statistics course. The material presented here has been used by students of different levels and disciplines, including advanced undergraduates studying Mathematics and Statistics and students in graduate programs in Statistics, Biostatistics, Engineering, Economics, Marketing, Pharmacy, and Psychology. The goal of the book is to impart the basics of designing and carrying out Bayesian analyses, and interpreting and communicating the results. In addition, readers will learn to use the predominant software for Bayesian model-fitting, R and OpenBUGS. The practical approach this book takes will help students of all levels to build understanding of the concepts and procedures required to answer real questions by performing Bayesian analysis of real data. Topics covered include comparing and contrasting Bayesian and classical methods, specifying hierarchical models, and assessing Markov chain Monte Carlo output. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKate Cowles taught Suzuki piano for many years before going to graduate school in Biostatistics.
