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'.","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45032812445847,"sku":"9780198568322","price":4600.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198568322.webp?v=1767262203","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/data-analysis-a-bayesian-tutorial-9780198568322","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
