Produktbeschreibung
Supported by a wealth of learning features, exercises, and visual elements as well as online video tutorials and interactive simulations, this book is the first student-focused introduction to Bayesian statistics.

Without sacrificing technical integrity for the sake of simplicity, the author draws upon accessible, student-friendly language to provide approachable instruction perfectly aimed at statistics and Bayesian newcomers. Through a logical structure that introduces and builds upon key concepts in a gradual way and slowly acclimatizes students to using R and Stan software, the book covers:
An introduction to probability and Bayesian inference Understanding Bayes' rule Nuts and bolts of Bayesian analytic methods Computational Bayes and real-world Bayesian analysis Regression analysis and hierarchical methods
This unique guide will help students develop the statistical confidence and skills to put the Bayesian formula into practice, from the basic concepts of statistical inference to complex applications of analyses.
Autorenporträt
Ben Lambert is a researcher at Imperial College London where he works on the epidemiology of malaria. He has worked in applied statistical inference for about a decade, formerly at the University of Oxford, and is the author of over 500 online lectures on econometrics and statistics. He also somewhat strangely went to school in Thomas Bayes' home town for many years, Tunbridge Wells.
Rezensionen
An excellent resource on Bayesian analysis accessible to students from a diverse range of statistical backgrounds and interests. Easy to follow with well documented examples to illustrate key concepts.
