{"product_id":"bayesian-analysis-for-the-social-sciences-9780470011546","title":"Bayesian Analysis for the Social Sciences","description":"Bayesian methods are increasingly being used in the social sciences, as the problems encountered lend themselves so naturally to the subjective qualities of Bayesian methodology. This book provides an accessible introduction to Bayesian methods, tailored specifically for social science students. It contains lots of real examples from political science, psychology, sociology, and economics, exercises in all chapters, and detailed descriptions of all the key concepts, without assuming any background in statistics beyond a first course. It features examples of how to implement the methods using WinBUGS - the most-widely used Bayesian analysis software in the world - and R - an open-source statistical software. The book is supported by a Website featuring WinBUGS and R code, and data sets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Jackman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.80w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780470011546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2010 pg. 93\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimon Jackman\u003c\/b\u003e is a political scientist by trade but has a tremendous amount of experience in using Bayesian methods for solving problems in the social and political sciences, and teaching Bayesian methods to social science students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40747439095923,"sku":"9.78047E+12","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_cbac93dc-c5c7-4864-8396-5afa7290d0e4.jpg?v=1678199320","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/bayesian-analysis-for-the-social-sciences-9780470011546","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
