Applied Bayesian Modelling

von Peter Congdon
The use of Bayesian statistics has grown significantly in recentyears, and will undoubtedly continue to do so. Applied BayesianModelling is the follow-up to the author's best sellingbook, Bayesian Statistical Modelling, and focuses on thepotential applications of Bayesian techniques in a wide range ofimportant topics in the social and health sciences. Theapplications are illustrated through many real-life examples andsoftware implementation in WINBUGS - a popular softwarepackage that offers a simplified and flexible approach tostatistical modelling. The book gives detailed explanations foreach example - explaining fully the choice of model for eachparticular problem. The book
· Provides a broad and comprehensive account of appliedBayesian modelling.
· Describes a variety of model assessment methods and theflexibility of Bayesian prior specifications.
· Covers many application areas, including panel datamodels, structural equation and other multivariate structuremodels, spatial analysis, survival analysis and epidemiology.
· Provides detailed worked examples in WINBUGS toillustrate the practical application of the techniques described. All WINBUGS programs are available from an ftp site.
The book provides a good introduction to Bayesian modelling anddata analysis for a wide range of people involved in appliedstatistical analysis, including researchers and students fromstatistics, and the health and social sciences. The wealth ofexamples makes this book an ideal reference for anyone involved instatistical modelling and analysis.
