Synopsis:

The 2nd Edition of Dr. Winkler's classic book, first published in 1972, includes access to electronic files, Perspectives, and updated material. However, the basic concepts of Bayesian inference and decision have not really changed. This book gives a foundation in the concepts, enables readers to understand the results of Bayesian inference and decision, provides tools to model real-world problems and carry out basic analyses, and prepares readers for further exploration.

Please note that the material the publisher used to provide on an accompanying CD is now available from the publisher's web site and the CD is no longer provided.

He also holds appointments in the Institute of Statistics and Decision Sciences and in the Center for Clinical Health Policy Research at Duke.
