Summary
The second edition of Bayesian Data Analysis continues to emphasize practice over theory, clearly describing how to conceptualize, perform, and critique statistical analyses from a Bayesian perspective. Its world-class authors provide detailed guidance on all aspects of Bayesian data analysis and include many examples of real statistical analyses, based on their own research.
