Bayesian Methods for the Physical SciencesLearning from Examples in Astronomy and Physics /[electronic resource] :by Stefano Andreon, Brian Weaver. - 1st ed. 2015. - XI, 238 p. 127 illus., 120 illus. in color.online resource. - Springer Series in Astrostatistics,42199-1030 ;. - Springer Series in Astrostatistics,4.

Recipes -- A Bit of Theory -- A Bit of Numerical Computation -- Single Parameter Models -- The Prior -- Multi-parameters Models -- Non-random Data Collection -- Fitting Regression Models -- Model Checking and Sensitivity Analysis -- Bayesian vs Simple Methods -- Appendix: Probability Distributions -- Appendix: The third axiom of probability, conditional probability, independence and conditional independence.

Statistical literacy is critical for the modern researcher in Physics and Astronomy. This book empowers researchers in these disciplines by providing the tools they will need to analyze their own data. Chapters in this book provide a statistical base from which to approach new problems, including numerical advice and a profusion of examples. The examples are engaging analyses of real-world problems taken from modern astronomical research. The examples are intended to be starting points for readers as they learn to approach their own data and research questions. Acknowledging that scientific progress now hinges on the availability of data and the possibility to improve previous analyses, data and code are distributed throughout the book. The JAGS symbolic language used throughout the book makes it easy to perform Bayesian analysis and is particularly valuable as readers may use it in a myriad of scenarios through slight modifications. This book is comprehensive, well written, and will surely be regarded as a standard text in both astrostatistics and physical statistics. Joseph M. Hilbe, President, International Astrostatistics Association, Professor Emeritus, University of Hawaii, and Adjunct Professor of Statistics, Arizona State University.
