Description
Bayesian statistical methods have become widely used for data analysis and modelling in recent years. This practical introduction to Bayesian analysis uses the BUGS software, developed by its authors, to provide complete coverage of all its functionalities. The text presents worked examples and applications from various disciplines, covering regression models, model criticism, and hierarchical models. It also deals with essentials of modelling without getting bogged down in complexity, emphasising model criticism, model comparison, sensitivity analysis, and thoughtful choice of prior distributions. Full code and data for examples, exercises, and some solutions can be found on the book's website. This book is a pragmatic guide to the real power of the BUGS software, covering a wide range of "tricks" that reveal its capabilities.
