BAYESIAN METHODS FOR THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES - ST...

Statistical literacy is critical for the modern researcher in Physics and Astronomy. This book
empowers researchers in these disciplines by providing the tools they will need to analyze
their own data. Chapters in this book provide a statistical base from which to approach new
problems  including numerical advice and a profusion of examples. The examples are engaging
analyses of real-world problems taken from modern astronomical research. The examples are
intended to be starting points for readers as they learn to approach their own data and
research questions. Acknowledging that scientific progress now hinges on the availability of
data and the possibility to improve previous analyses  data and code are distributed throughout
the book. The JAGS symbolic language used throughout the book makes it easy to perform Bayesian
analysis and is particularly valuable as readers may use it in a myriad of scenarios through
slight modifications. This book is comprehensive  well written  and will surely be regarded as
a standard text in both astrostatistics and physical statistics. Joseph M. Hilbe  President
