Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial Devinderjit Sivia, John Skilling
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA

Instead Bayesian data analysis and Bayes in decision theory. No, the goal of the tutorial below is to give you a true understanding of Bayes' Theorem so that can apply it correctly in the complexities of real life that exist beyond the exam sheet. Peter Congdon, Bayesian Statistical Modelling, Wiley, 2001. Data Analysis a Bayesian Tutorial D Sivia. 8.8, “Small area and survey domain estimation,” pp. Lifetime Data Analysis is the only journal dedicated to statistical methods and applications for lifetime data. On basic Bayesian statistics, jsalvatier recommends Skilling & Sivia's Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial over Gelman's Bayesian Data Analysis, Bolstad's Bayesian Statistics, and Robert's The Bayesian Choice. The key is comparing existing data to a hypothesis: what is the probability of this outcome if a given hypothesis is true? So, how does Bayes' theorem work? Silver used Bayesian methods to combine the results of various polls, analyze them, and predict the probability of a given candidate winning the majority of votes in a district. An extreme example like this illustrates that the new data you get from the mammography test does not replace the data you had at the outset about how improbable it was that the woman had breast cancer.
