This new fourth edition looks at recent techniques such as variational methods, Bayesian importance sampling, approximate Bayesian computation and Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC), providing a concise account of the way in which the Bayesian approach to statistics develops as well as how it contrasts with the conventional approach.

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)
