Bayesian analysis has undergone a remarkable transformation since the early 1990s. Widespread adoption of Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques has made the Bayesian paradigm the preferred alternative to classical statistical procedures for scientific inference. The Bayesian approach has a number of desirable qualities, three chief ones being: i) the mathematical procedure is always the same, allowing the analyst to concentrate on the scientific aspects of the problem; ii) historical information is readily used, when appropriate; and iii) hierarchical models are readily accommodated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis monograph contains numerous worked examples and the requisite computer programs. The latter are easily modified to meet new situations. A primer on probability distributions is also included because these form the basis of Bayesian inference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResearchers and graduate students in Ecology and Natural Resource Management will find this book a valuable reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45276340617367,"sku":"9783030607494","price":4407.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030607494.webp?v=1769285382","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/introduction-to-bayesian-methods-in-ecology-and-natural-resources-9783030607494","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
