He presents many examples that illustrate the Bayesian mode of reasoning and explains elements of a Bayesian application, including prior information, experimental information, the likelihood function, posterior distribution, and predictive distribution. The appendices provide the necessary theoretical foundation to understand Bayesian methods as well as introduce the fundamentals of programming and executing the WinBUGS software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking a Bayesian approach to inference, this hands-on book explores numerous measures of agreement, including the Kappa coefficient, the \u003cem\u003eG \u003c\/em\u003ecoefficient, and intraclass correlation. With examples throughout and end-of-chapter exercises, it discusses how to successfully design and analyze an agreement study.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45240384061591,"sku":"9780367577384","price":4273.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367577384.webp?v=1769225353","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bayesian-methods-for-measures-of-agreement-9780367577384","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
