Incorporating new research and additional material, the third edition presents state-of-the-art guidance on Bayesian statistical computing. It emphasizes Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and computation with R and WinBUGS. Along with doubling the number of exercises, this edition covers time series, decision theory, nonparametric models, and mixture models. A solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoption.
