This book attempts to remedy the situation by expounding a logical and unified approach to the whole subject of data analysis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis text is intended as a tutorial guide for senior undergraduates and research students in science and engineering. After explaining the basic principles of Bayesian probability theory, their use is illustrated with a variety of examples ranging from elementary parameter estimation to image processing. Other topics covered include reliability analysis, multivariate optimization, least-squares and maximum likelihood, error-propagation, hypothesis testing, maximum entropy and experimental design. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Second Edition of this successful tutorial book contains a new chapter on extensions to the ubiquitous least-squares procedure, allowing for the straightforward handling of outliers and unknown correlated noise, and a cutting-edge contribution from John Skilling on a novel numerical technique for Bayesian computation called 'nested sampling'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Devinderjit Sivia,John Skilling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 7.56w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198568322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2nd Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46836612759689,"sku":"9780198568322","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_78d33f3a-ee80-4857-9e75-7297169653a1.jpg?v=1780440965","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/data-analysis-a-bayesian-tutorial-9780198568322","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
