Hobbs, N. Thompson.
Bayesian models : a statistical primer for ecologists / N. Thompson Hobbs and Mevin B. Hooten. - First Edition - xiv, 299 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm.
includes index.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 283-290).
Deterministic models -- Principles of probability -- Likelihood -- Simple bayesian models -- Hierarchicañ bayesian models -- Markov chain monte carlo-- Inference from a single model -- INference from multiple models -- Writing bayesian models
Bayesian modeling has become an indispensable tool for ecological research because it is uniquely suited to deal with complexity in a statistically coherent way. This textbook provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the latest Bayesian methods—in language ecologists can understand. Unlike other books on the subject, this one emphasizes the principles behind the computations, giving ecologists a big-picture understanding of how to implement this powerful statistical approach.
