This third edition of a classic textbook presents a comprehensive introduction to Bayesian data analysis. Written for students and researchers alike, the text is written in an easily accessible manner with chapters that contain many exercises as well as detailed worked examples taken from various disciplines. This third edition provides two new chapters on Bayesian nonparametrics and covers computation systems BUGS and R. It also offers enhanced computing advice. The book's website includes solutions to the problems, data sets, software advice, and other ancillary material.

韦来生等编著的《贝叶斯分析》的主要内容从2004年以来为中国科学技术大学概率论与数理统计专业研究生讲授过多次。大约可在54学时内讲授本书第1—5章的主要内容，第6章、第7章可根据实际情况选讲其中部分内容，也可不讲。第8章主要是供阅读的材料，其中第8章8。1节可作为经验贝叶斯方法的简介。书中标“*”号的小节可略去不讲，留给读者作为阅读材料。如果要在36学时内讲授本课程，可选讲本书第1—4章的主要内容和第5章的部分内容。本书可作为相关院校研究生、青年教师以及从事统计工作的工程技术人员的参考书。

If you know how to program with Python and also know a little about probability, you’re ready to tackle Bayesian statistics. With this book, you'll learn how to solve statistical problems with Python code instead of mathematical notation, and use discrete probability distributions instead of continuous mathematics. Once you get the math out of the way, the Bayesian fundamentals will become clearer, and you’ll begin to apply these techniques to real-world problems. Bayesian statistical methods are becoming more common and more important, but not many resources are available to help beginners. Based on undergraduate classes taught by author Allen Downey, this book’s computational approach helps you get a solid start. Use your existing programming skills to learn and understand Bayesian statistics Work with problems involving estimation, prediction, decision analysis, evidence, and hypothesis testing Get started with simple examples, using coins, M&Ms, Dungeons & Dragons dice, paintball, and hockey Learn computational methods for solving real-world problems, such as interpreting SAT scores, simulating kidney tumors, and modeling the human microbiome.

统计决策论及贝叶斯分析：第二版，ISBN：9787503725333，作者：（美）[J.O.伯杰]James O.Berger著；贾乃光译

《高等院校统计学专业规划教材•贝叶斯统计》共六章，可分二部分。前三章围绕先验分布介绍贝叶斯推断方法。后三章围绕损失函数介绍贝叶斯决策方法。阅读这些内容仅需要概率统计基本知识就够了。《高等院校统计学专业规划教材•贝叶斯统计》力图用生动有趣的例子来说明贝叶斯统计的基本思想和基本方法，尽量使读者对贝叶斯统计产生兴趣，引发读者使用贝叶方法去认识和解决实际问题的愿望。进而去丰富和发展贝叶斯统计。假如学生的兴趣被钓出来，愿望被引出来，那么讲授这一门课的目的也基本达到了。
