- Summary:
- Kadane (Carnegie Mellon U., Pennsylvania) explains a Bayesian approach to statistics, incorporating the three legs the field stands on: mathematics, computing, and philosophy. Different parts of the textbook could be used in an elementary statistics course, a course in probability that prepares graduate students for a measure-theoretic treatment, a Bayesian course, and a course in decision theory. Among his topics are conditional probability and the Bayes theorem, discrete and continuous random variables, normal distribution, conjugate analysis, and multi-party problems.
