We open the black box and show the reader how to connect modern statistical models to computer algorithms. These algorithms allow the user to fit models that answer their scientific questions without needing to rely on automated Bayesian software. We show how to handcraft statistical models that are useful in ecological and environmental science including: linear and generalized linear models, spatial and time series models, occupancy and capture-recapture models, animal movement models, spatio-temporal models, and integrated population-models. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eR code implementing algorithms to fit Bayesian models using real and simulated data examples.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA comprehensive review of statistical models commonly used in ecological and environmental science.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOverview of Bayesian computational methods such as importance sampling, MCMC, and HMC.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDerivations of the necessary components to construct statistical algorithms from scratch.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing Bayesian Models to Life contains a comprehensive treatment of models and associated algorithms for fitting the models to data. We provide detailed and annotated R code in each chapter and apply it to fit each model we present to either real or simulated data for instructional purposes. Our code shows how to create every result and figure in the book so that readers can use and modify it for their own analyses. We provide all code and data in an organized set of directories available at the authors' websites.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45239580819607,"sku":"9780367198480","price":6619.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367198480.webp?v=1769222984","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bringing-bayesian-models-to-life-9780367198480","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
