Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis:
Emphasizing model choice and model averaging, this book presents Bayesian methods for analyzing complex ecological data. Providing a basic introduction to Bayesian methods, the book includes detailed descriptions of methods that deal with covariate data and covers techniques at the forefront of research, such as model discrimination and model averaging. Leaders in the statistical ecology field, the authors apply the theory to a wide range of actual case studies and illustrate the methods using WinBUGS and R.
