Bayesian Statistical Methods: With Applications to Machine Learning de Brian J. Reich

Bayesian Statistical Methods: With Applications to Machine Learning: Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science

Autor Brian J. Reich, Sujit K. Ghosh
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 feb 2026
Bayesian Statistical Methods: With Applications to Machine Learning provides data scientists with the foundational and computational tools needed to carry out a Bayesian analysis.  Compared to others, this book is more focused on Bayesian methods applied routinely in practice including multiple linear regression, mixed effects models and generalized linear models.  This second edition includes a new chapter on Bayesian machine learning methods to handle large and complex datasets and several new applications to illustrate the benefits the Bayesian approach in terms of uncertainty quantification. 
Readers familiar with only introductory statistics will find this book accessible as it includes many worked examples with complete R code and comparisons are presented with analogous frequentist procedures. The book can be used as a one-semester course for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and can be used in courses comprised of undergraduate statistics majors, non-statistics graduate students from other disciplines such as engineering, ecology, and psychology. In addition to thorough treatment of the basic concepts of Bayesian inferential methods, the book covers many general topics: 
·       Advice on selecting prior distributions
·       Computational methods including Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling
·       Model-comparison and goodness-of-fit measures, including sensitivity to priors
To illustrate the flexibility of the Bayesian approaches for complex data structures, the latter chapters provide case studies covering advanced topics:
·       Handling of missing and censored data
·       Priors for high-dimensional regression models
·       Machine learning models including Bayesian adaptive regression trees and deep learning
·       Computational techniques for large datasets
·       Frequentist properties of Bayesian methods
The advanced topics are presented with sufficient conceptual depth that the reader will be able to carry out such analysis and argue the relative merits of Bayesian and classical methods.  A repository of R code, motivating data sets, and complete data analyses are made available on the book’s website.

Notă biografică

Brian J Reich, Gertrude M Cox Distinguished Professor of Statistics at North Carolina State University, applies Bayesian statistical methods in a variety of fields including environmental epidemiology, engineering, weather and climate.  He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics and recipient of the LeRoy & Elva Martin Teaching Award at NC State University.
Sujit K Ghosh, Professor of Statistics at North Carolina State University, has advanced research fields such as Bayesian inference, spatial statistics, survival analysis, and shape-constrained inference, addressing complex inferential challenges in biomedical and environmental sciences, econometrics, and engineering. At NC State, he has been honored with the D.D. Mason Faculty Award and the Cavell Brownie Mentoring Award, reflecting his excellence in research, mentoring, and teaching. His leadership includes impactful service as Program Director at NSF’s Division of Mathematical Sciences, Deputy Director at SAMSI, and President of the IISA.

Recenzii

"Brian J. Reich and Sujit K. Ghosh make a valuable contribution to the growing canon of introductory texts on Bayesian statistics…The extensive data and problem sets provided are a major highlight of the work…Features that instructors will find quite appealing include the nice library of problem sets (with solutions to odd problems in chapters 1-5 online), the availability online of several nice worked data examples including code, and coverage of some topics not yet standard in introductory texts, including Bayesian computation with big data…A big plus is the recent addition of Python code (PyMC) online…Because several of the exercises are application based and incorporate data from a variety of disciplines, the book will surely capture the interest of its intended readership."
~Biometrics
"A book that gives a comprehensive coverage of Bayesian inference for a diverse background of scientific practitioners is needed. The book Bayesian Statistical Methods seems to be a good candidate for this purpose, which aims at a balanced treatment between theory and computation. The authors are leading researchers and experts in Bayesian statistics. I believe this book is likely to be an excellent text book for an introductory course targeting at first-year graduate students or undergraduate statistics majors…This new book is more focused on the most fundamental components of Bayesian methods. Moreover, this book contains many simulated examples and real-data applications, with computer code provided to demonstrate the implementations."
~Qing Zhou, UCLA
"The book gives an overview of Bayesian statistical modeling with a focus on the building blocks for fitting and analyzing hierarchical models. The book uses a number of interesting and realistic examples to illustrate the methods. The computational focus is in the use of JAGS, as a tool to perform Bayesian inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods…It can be targeted as a textbook for upper-division undergraduate students in statistics and some areas of science, engineering and social sciences with an interest in a reasonably formal development of data analytic methods and uncertainty quantification. It could also be used for a Master’s class in statistical modeling."
~Bruno Sansó, University of California Santa Cruz
"The given manuscript sample is technically correct, clearly written, and at an appropriate level of difficulty… I enjoyed the real-life problems in the Chapter 1 exercises. I especially like the problem on the Federalist Papers, because the students can revisit this problem and perform more powerful inferences using the advanced Bayesian methods that they will learn later in the textbook… I would seriously consider adopting the book as a required textbook. This text provides more details, R codes, and illuminating visualizations compared to competing books, and more quickly introduces a broad scope of regression models that are important in practical applications."
