Incorporating new and updated information, this second edition of THE bestselling text in Bayesian data analysis continues to emphasize practice over theory, describing how to conceptualize, perform, and critique statistical analyses from a Bayesian perspective. Its world-class authors provide guidance on all aspects of Bayesian data analysis and include examples of real statistical analyses, based on their own research, that demonstrate how to solve complicated problems. Changes in the new edition include:
Stronger focus on MCMC
Revision of the computational advice in Part III
New chapters on nonlinear models and decision analysis
Several additional applied examples from the authors' recent research
Additional chapters on current models for Bayesian data analysis such as nonlinear models, generalized linear mixed models, and more
Reorganization of chapters 6 and 7 on model checking and data collection
