Statistical Decision Theory and Bayesian Analysis by James O. Berger (English) H

Description: Statistical Decision Theory and Bayesian Analysis by James O. Berger In this new edition the author has added substantial material on Bayesian analysis, including lengthy new sections on such important topics as empirical and hierarchical Bayes analysis, Bayesian calculation, Bayesian communication, and group decision making. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this new edition the author has added substantial material on Bayesian analysis, including lengthy new sections on such important topics as empirical and hierarchical Bayes analysis, Bayesian calculation, Bayesian communication, and group decision making. With these changes, the book can be used as a self-contained introduction to Bayesian analysis. In addition, much of the decision-theoretic portion of the text was updated, including new sections covering such modern topics as minimax multivariate (Stein) estimation. Notes The interest in Bayesian statistics among theoretical and applied statisticians has increased dramatically in the last few years. This classic text and reference book remains one of the most important references.
