After explaining the basic principles of Bayesian probability theory, their use is illustrated with a variety of examples ranging from elementary parameter estimation to image processing. Other topics covered include reliability analysis, multivariate optimization, least-squares and maximum likelihood, error-propagation, hypothesis testing, maximum entropy and experimental design. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Second Edition of this successful tutorial book contains a new chapter on extensions to the ubiquitous least-squares procedure, allowing for the straightforward handling of outliers and unknown correlated noise, and a cutting-edge contribution from John Skilling on a novel numerical technique for Bayesian computation called 'nested sampling'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDevinderjit Singh Sivia\u003cbr\u003eRutherford Appleton Laboratory\u003cbr\u003eChilton\u003cbr\u003eOxon\u003cbr\u003eOX11 5DJ John Skilling\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Entropy Data Consultants\u003cbr\u003e42 Southgate Street\u003cbr\u003eBury St Edmonds\u003cbr\u003eSuffolk\u003cbr\u003eIP33 2AZ\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9.14 x 7.56 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 27, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42684795322431,"sku":"9780198568322","price":129.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/c1cae2ed07859d812b058946b47c8732.webp?v=1764968669","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/data-analysis-a-bayesian-tutorial-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
