Bayesian Statistics for Beginners by Therese M Donovan

Bayesian Statistics for Beginners by Therese M Donovan

This is an entry-level book on Bayesian statistics written in a casual, and conversational tone. The authors walk a reader through many sample problems step-by-step to provide those with little background in math or statistics with the vocabulary, notation, and understanding of the calculations used in many Bayesian problems.

While reading this book, I joined the authors on a learning endeavor thanks to their honesty and intellectual vulnerabilityTheir lack of experience with Bayesian statistics helps them to be effective communicators . . . If you are interested in starting your Bayesian journey, then Bayesian Statistics for Beginners is an excellent place to begin. * Taylor Saucier, Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Aquaculture, Mississippi State University, The Journal of Wildlife Management *
