title: Bayesian Methods: An Analysis for Statisticians and Interdisciplinary Researchers (Cambridge Series in Statistical and Probabilistic Mathematics)
author:  Thomas Leonard 
description: "The book provides a solid, well-written introduction to the basic tenets of Bayesian modeling, and deserves serious consideration for adoption for a graduate-level introduction to Bayesian methods." Journal of the American Statistical Association<br /><br />"This book provides excellent up-to-date coverage of modern Bayesian statistics...clearly written and at a reasonably high level." Mathematical Reviews<br /><br />"Bayesian Methods is pregnant with detailed examples, pulled primarily from recent literature, especially from contributions by the authors. Rather than serving simply as illustrations of results in the text, these examples are an integral part of the authors' development. What is more, they are interesting. They endow the theory with life and draw the reader deeper into the text. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in Bayesian methods. I look forward to using it in the classroom."

  The interface between the computer and statistical sciences is increasing, as
  each discipline seeks to harness the power and resources of the other. This
  series aims to foster the integration between the computer sciences and
  statistical, numerical, and probabilistic methods by publishing a broad range
  of reference works, textbooks, and handbooks.
