Along with a complete reorganization of the material, this edition concentrates more on hierarchical Bayesian modeling as implemented via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods and related data analytic techniques.

New data examples, corresponding R and WinBUGS code, and homework problems

Explicit descriptions and illustrations of hierarchical modeling―now commonplace in Bayesian data analysis

A new chapter on Bayesian design that emphasizes Bayesian clinical trials

A completely revised and expanded section on ranking and histogram estimation

A new case study on infectious disease modeling and the 1918 flu epidemic
