Reviews for Bayesian Statistics
“As a lifelong non-statistician and sporadic “user” of statistics, I have not come across another advanced statistics book (as I would characterize this one) that offers so much to the non-expert and, I’ll bet, to the expert as well. The book has my highest recommendation.” (Computing Reviews, 7 January 2013)
