Introduction to Bayesian Statistics

"I would recommend this book if you are interested in teaching an introductory in Bayesian statistics..." (The American Statistician, February 2006) "...a very useful undergraduate text presenting a novel approach to an introductory statistics course." (Biometrics, September 2005) "I cannot think of a better book for teachers of introductory statistics who want a readable and pedagogically sound text to introduce Bayesian statistics." (Statistics in Medical Research, October 2005) "...this book fills a gap for teaching elementary Bayesian statistics...it could easily serve as a self-learning text..." (Technometrics, May 2005) [In a review comparing Bolstad with another book,] "I will keep both of these books on my shelf, but I expect that Bolstad will be the one most borrowed by my colleagues."(significance, December 2004) "...does an excellent job of presenting Bayesian Statistics as a perfectly reasonable approach to elementary problems of statistics...I must heartily recommend this book..."
