This Bayesian modeling book is intended for practitioners and applied statisticians looking for a self-contained entry to computational Bayesian statistics. Focusing on standard statistical models and backed up by discussed real datasets available from the book website, it provides an...

Winner of the 2004 DeGroot Prize This paperback edition, a reprint of the 2001 edition, is a graduate-level textbook that introduces Bayesian statistics and decision theory. It covers both the basic ideas of statistical theory, and also some of the more modern and advanced topics of Bayesian...

This graduate-level textbook is the translation into French of The Bayesian Choice (Springer 2001). It presents an introduction to Bayesian statistics and decision theory. Its scope covers both the basic ideas of statistical theory, and also some of the more modern and advanced topics of...

En estimation bayésienne, lorsque le calcul explicite de la loi a posteriori du vecteur des paramètres à estimer est impossible, les méthodes de Monte-Carlo par chaînes de Markov (MCMC) [Robert and Casella, 1999] permettent théoriquement de fournir un échantillon approximativement...

For numerous models, it is impossible to conduct an exact Bayesian inference. There are many cases where the derivation of the posterior distribution leads to intractable calculations (due to the fact that this generally involves intractable integrations). The Bayesian computational literature...
