Applied Bayesian Modelling, Hardcover by Congdon, Peter, ISBN 1119951518, ISBN-13 9781119951513, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

Congdon explains the Bayesian analysis of data in the context of health, social, and physical sciences. Among his topics are hierarchical models for related units, regression techniques, meta-analysis and multilevel models, models for spatial outcomes and geographical associations, and latent variable and structural equation models. He uses BUGS (winBUGS or openBUGS) as the central software program in worked examples, though he also demonstrates R packages. The changes since the 2003 first edition. he says, are largely new approaches to estimation, such as the INLA method, and a much extended range of computer packages for Bayesian techniques.
