Best introductory Bayesian book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is the best introductory Bayesian book for advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate students, especially in the social sciences. All concepts are explained in depth and illustrated with plenty of examples. I only wish that the publisher used a nicer-looking font for typesetting the book.
Very Good Start Point

This maybe the most straight forward and clearly presented introductory book to Bayesian Method in Econometrics.
Good book!

I'm taking an intro to Bayesian stats class and we are using the Carlin & Louis book -- it is a POS. I found this book in the library and it is much better. It gives very clear explanations of the ideas, and lots of concrete worked examples. Props to the author.
Clear as crystal and plenty of workouts

This is as clear as crystal. It also has plenty of workouts. It is a very useful volume.
Great Book

If you are looking for a book for Bayesian estimation, this is the one. The first several chapters say it all about Bayesian methods. The rest of the book is applications. Very helpful reading for learning the method.
