Subjective and Objective Bayesian Statistics: Principles, Models, and Applications (Second Edition)

"...written in a clear, accessible manner...an enjoyable read and a comprehensive introduction to Bayesian theory and methods." (Journal of the American Statistical Association, March 2005) "The book is well written. It should continue the success of the first edition and become the main reference book in the field." (Interfaces, March-April 2004) "...among several books I have reviewed, this is one of the best. I very strongly recommend this book to statisticians and applied researchers." (Journal of Statistical Computation & Simulation, March 2004) "...a second edition...but really a new book, not merely the first edition with a few changes inserted...a completely restructured book with major new chapters and material..." (Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. LXI, No. 2, June 2003) "...this second edition is a completely restructured book with major new chapters and material..." (Zentralblatt Math, 2003)
