About this title

Synopsis

Statistics is concerned with investigating the degree of confidence we can have in various hypotheses. The Bayesian approach is distinguished by giving each hypothesis a probability and then modifying it in the light of the experimental data. This is controversial because for a new theory with no data available, an element of guesswork has to be involved. The author presents the ideas behind Bayesian statistics at a level suitable for advanced undergraduate or postgraduate students. The discrepancies between the conclusions of Bayesian and classical statistics are highlighted.

From the Publisher

This new edition of Lee's popular book introduces the Bayesian philosophy of statistics. It has been completely updated and features new chapters on Gibbs sampling and hierarchical methods and more exercises.
