Bayesian Methods: A Social and Behavioral Sciences Approach (2nd ed.).

摘要

The second edition of Bayesian Methods: A Social and Behavioral Sciences Approach is a major update from the original version. New material has been added, the order of topics has changed, and the concentration on social' and behavioral sciences has been reduced. The result is a general-audience text suitable for a first course in Bayesian statistics at the upper undergraduate level for highly quantitative students, or at the graduate level for students in a wider variety of fields. I just finished using this book as the text for my class which includes graduate students in fields from statistics and computer science to geology, political science, and environmental studies, as well as advanced undergraduates in statistics and bioinformatics. Of the texts I have tried so far in this class, Gill's book has definitely worked the best for me.
