Bayes and Empirical Bayes Methods for Data Analysis, Second Edition
About the Second Edition:The writing is excellent and the worked examples are also excellent for understanding the methods. In summary, I recommend Bayes and Empirical Bayes Methods for Data Analysis for advanced graduate students and all research workers.-Olaf Berke in Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, January 2001...particularly commends the book to practising biometricians who want to explore the potential for using Bayesian methods in their own work.-Biometrics, Vol. 57, No. 3, September 2001...the book is beautifully written and many of the questions it raises - and most of the answers provided - are of concern for the applied statistician whether Bayesian, frequentist or likelihoodist.-Guadalupe Gomez, Statistics in Medicine Vol 21, #23 Dec 15 2002.About the First Edition:...an important and timely addition to applied statistics…the writing is excellent, and the authors are able to present an amazing amount of material cogently in [a] smaller book…the reader reaps the benefits of being in the hands of a true master…-Journal of American Statistical Association…an excellent exposition of Bayes and empirical Bayes methods…gives a well-balanced mathematical and computational treatment of Bayes and empirical Bayes paradigms, and nicely examines the similarities and contrasts in the two approaches.-Short Book Reviews of the ISI…and impressive compendium of the mathematical techniques underlying Bayes and empirical Bayes methods…-American Journal of Epidemiology
