Bayesian Statistics 8. Proceeding of the Eight Valencia International Meeting

The Valencia International Meetings on Bayesian Statistics provide the main forum for researchers in Bayesian Statistics. This eighth proceeding offers the reader a wide perspective of the developments in Bayesian statistics over the last four years.

`Review from previous edition ... this book presents a uniquely excellent overview of some of the most relevant and pressing current issues underlying research in Bayesian statistics today. That such a definitive and all-encompassing presentation of a wide range of current concerns is fused
in a single volume is by any measure its primary attraction. The format has additional appeal given the conference organizers' well-judged decision to encourage contributed discussion for the invited papers. This is particularly useful in bringing the most salient points to the forefront of the
readers' attention.'
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society

`This volume will be of most use for the research-orientated investigator, or for a casual reader of Bayesian literature, both as stimulating to read and as a useful reference text.'
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society

`... this collection provides an excellent overview of current research in Bayesian statistics ... Given the high quality of most papers in this volume, and the range of interesting applications, this is a must for academic libraries. I would advise researchers in Statistics, OR, and related
fields to have a look at the volume, as it provides a fast overview of recent developments in Bayesian statistics. Some of the applications might also provide useful examples for teaching statistics at the postgraduate level.'
