Hauptbeschreibung
A self-contained introduction to probability, exchangeability and Bayes’ rule provides a theoretical understanding of the applied material.

Numerous examples with R-code that can be run "as-is" allow the reader to perform the data analyses themselves.

The development of Monte Carlo and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods in the context of data analysis examples provides motivation for these computational methods.

Kurztext / Annotation
This compact, self-contained introduction to the theory and application of Bayesian statistical methods is accessible to those with a basic familiarity with probability, yet allows advanced readers to grasp the principles underlying Bayesian theory and method.
