Computer Intensive Methods in Statistics is written for students at graduate level, but can also be used by practitioners.  Features         Presents the main ideas of computer-intensive statistical methods       Gives the algorithms for all the methods       Uses various plots and illustrations for explaining the main ideas       Features the theoretical backgrounds of the main methods.       Includes R codes for the methods and examples  Silvelyn Zwanzig is an Associate Professor for Mathematical Statistics at Uppsala University. She studied Mathematics at the Humboldt- University in Berlin. Before coming to Sweden, she was Assistant Professor at the University of Hamburg in Germany. She received her Ph.D. in Mathematics at the Academy of Sciences of the GDR. Since 1991, she has taught Statistics for undergraduate and graduate students. Her research interests have moved from theoretical statistics to computer intensive statistics.   Behrang Mahjani is a postdoctoral fellow with a Ph.D. in Scientific Computing with a focus on Computational Statistics, from Uppsala University, Sweden. He joined the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, in September 2017 and was formerly a postdoctoral fellow at the Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. His research is focused on solving large-scale problems through statistical and computational methods.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51001437290769,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51001440010513,"sku":"NIN9780367194239","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52520841838865,"sku":"NLS9780367194239","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367194236.jpg?v=1751260037"},{"product_id":"bayesian-inference-book-silvelyn-zwanzig-9781032118093","title":"Bayesian Inference","description":"This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of Bayesian inference from all important perspectives, namely theory, methods and computations.

All theoretical results are presented as formal theorems, corollaries, lemmas etc., furnished with detailed proofs. The theoretical ideas are explained in simple and easily comprehensible forms, supplemented with several examples. A clear reasoning on the validity, usefulness, and pragmatic approach of the Bayesian methods is provided. A large number of examples and exercises, and solutions to all exercises, are provided to help students understand the concepts through ample practice.   The book is primarily aimed at first or second semester master students, where parts of the book can also be used at Ph.D. level or by research community at large. The emphasis is on exact cases. However, to gain further insight into the core concepts, an entire chapter is dedicated to computer intensive techniques. Selected chapters and sections of the book can be used for a one-semester course on Bayesian statistics.  Key Features:    Explains basic ideas of Bayesian statistical inference in an easily comprehensible form Illustrates main ideas through sketches and plots Contains large number of examples and exercises Provides solutions to all exercises Includes R codes  Silvelyn Zwanzig is a Professor for Mathematical Statistics at Uppsala University.
