Description
Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial by Devinderjit Sivia and John Skilling is an introduction to the subject of data analysis, providing a logical and unified approach for senior undergraduates and research students in science and engineering. The book explains basic principles of Bayesian probability theory and illustrates its use with various examples, covering topics such as parameter estimation, image processing, reliability analysis, multivariate optimization, and experimental design. The Second Edition includes a new chapter on handling outliers and unknown correlated noise, and a novel numerical technique for Bayesian computation called 'nested sampling'. This tutorial guide aims to remedy the frustration often experienced by students in statistics lectures, offering a clear and unified approach to data analysis.
