{"product_id":"statistics-for-astrophysics-didier-fraixburnet-9782759822744","title":"Statistics for Astrophysics: Bayesian Methodology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book includes the lectures given during the third session of the School of Statistics for Astrophysics that took place at Autrans, near Grenoble, in France, in October 2017. The subject is Bayesian Methodology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interest of this statistical approach in astrophysics probably comes from its necessity and its success in determining the cosmological parameters from observations, especially from the cosmic background fluctuations. The cosmological community has thus been very active in this field for many years. But the Bayesian methodology, complementary to the more classical frequentist one, has many applications in physics in general due to its ability to incorporate a priori knowledge into inference, such as uncertainty brought by the observational processes. The Bayesian approach becomes more and more widespread in the astrophysical literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contains statistics courses on basic to advanced methods with practical exercises using the R environment, by leading experts in their field. This covers the foundations of Bayesian inference, Markov chain Monte Carlo technique, model building, Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) and Bayesian nonparametric inference and clustering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Didier Fraix‐burnet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2759822745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782759822744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e EDP Sciences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Didier Fraix\u0026#8208;burnet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46465551696127,"sku":"9782759822744","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b3151b7-638f-4d28-904a-dd5a23cc1c77.jpg?v=1736346583","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/statistics-for-astrophysics-didier-fraixburnet-9782759822744","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
