First sentence: Probability plays an important role in almost every field - industry, commerce, physical and biological sciences,  statistics and of course,  in our daily life.
Description: This work, Bayesian Estimation, by Professor Sinha, seeks to inform us why this should be so and is a valuable contribution to Statistics, bringing together both the interpretation and application of the Bayesian approach. Detailed mathematical proofs which students at this level like to see in an introductory text such as this, are included. This work is very well received by students, researchers and practicing statisticians.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (288-295) and index (297-301)
