The Valencia International Meetings on Bayesian Statistics, held every four years, provide the main forum for researchers in the area of Bayesian Statistics to come together to present and discuss frontier developments in the field. Covering a broad range of applications and models, including genetics, computer vision and computation, the resulting proceedings provide a definitive, up-to-date overview encompassing a wide range of theoretical and applied research. This eighth proceedings includes edited and refereed versions of 20 invited papers plus extensive and in-depth discussion along with 19 extended four page abstracts of the best presentations offering a wide perspective of the developments in Bayesian statistics over the last four years.

Review from previous edition ... this book presents a uniquely excellent overview of some of the most relevant and pressing current issues underlying research in Bayesian statistics today. That such a definitive and all-encompassing presentation of a wide range of current concerns is fused in a single volume is by any measure its primary attraction. The format has additional appeal given the conference organizers' well-judged decision to encourage contributed discussion for the invited papers. This is particularly useful in bringing the most salient points to the forefront of the readers' attention. (Journal of the Royal Statistical Society)

This volume will be of most use for the research-orientated investigator, or for a casual reader of Bayesian literature, both as stimulating to read and as a useful reference text. (Journal of the Royal Statistical Society)

... this collection provides an excellent overview of current research in Bayesian statistics ... Given the high quality of most papers in this volume, and the range of interesting applications, this is a must for academic libraries. I would advise researchers in Statistics, OR, and related fields to have a look at the volume, as it provides a fast overview of recent developments in Bayesian statistics. Some of the applications might also provide useful examples for teaching statistics at the postgraduate level. (Journal of the Operational Research Society)
