Books like Bayesian Estimation by S. K. Sinha

A practical guide to Bayesian statistical analysis that prioritizes computation, model checking, and data‑collection design, with examples spanning regression, hierarchical, robust, generalized linear, and mixture models.

Monte Carlo statistical methods, particularly those based on Markov chains, are now an essential component of the standard set of techniques used by statisticians. This new edition has been revised towards a coherent and flowing coverage of these simulation techniques, with incorporation of the most recent developments in the field. In particular, the introductory coverage of random variable generation has been totally revised, with many concepts being unified through a fundamental theorem of simulation. There are five completely new chapters that cover Monte Carlo control, reversible jump, slice sampling, sequential Monte Carlo, and perfect sampling. There is a more in-depth coverage of Gibbs sampling, which is now contained in three consecutive chapters. The development of Gibbs sampling starts with slice sampling and its connection with the fundamental theorem of simulation, and builds up to two-stage Gibbs sampling and its theoretical properties. A third chapter covers the multi-stage Gibbs sampler and its variety of applications. Lastly, chapters from the previous edition have been revised towards easier access, with the examples getting more detailed coverage. This textbook is intended for a second year graduate course, but will also be useful to someone who either wants to apply simulation techniques for the resolution of practical problems or wishes to grasp the fundamental principles behind those methods. The authors do not assume familiarity with Monte Carlo techniques (such as random variable generation), with computer programming, or with any Markov chain theory (the necessary concepts are developed in Chapter 6). A solutions manual, which covers approximately 40% of the problems, is available for instructors who require the book for a course. --back cover

SURVEY SAMPLING covers theoretical principles with step-by-step detailed mathematical derivations. The methodology adopted elucidates sampling schemes like simple random sampling, probability proportional to size sampling, systematic, stratified, cluster, two-stage and two-phase sampling. Ratio and regression methods are discussed under super population model.This is a comprehensive textbook covering all the major topics taught in Survey Sampling at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in universities. The problems connected with the planning and conduct of the sample surveys such as, drafting of schedules and questionnaries, methods of collecting data, estimation of population parameters, determination of sample size etc. are discussed in detail.KEY FEATURES* Emphasis has been given on theory which provides self-study material for student.* Number of exercises with data from various fields with illustrations have been incorporated to demonstrate the method of analysis.* Unsolved problems have been included for the practice of the reader to understand concepts and procedures.* Subject matter has been arranged in a systematic presentation.* Provides extensive treatment/explanation on non-sampling errors.* Difficult concepts have been explained in an easy and simple manner.

A practical guide to Bayesian methods in machine learning, tailored for undergraduates and graduate students with modest math backgrounds.

A comprehensive guide to mathematical statistics for students and professionals alike, covering a wide range of topics in thirty-five chapters of varying sizes.

A Beginner's Guide to GAMM with R is the third in Highland Statistics' Beginner's Guide series, following the well-received A Beginner's Guide to Generalized Additive Models with R and A Beginner's Guide to GLM and GLMM with R. In this book we take the reader on an exciting voyage into the world of generalized additive mixed effects models (GAMM). Keywords are GAM, mgcv, gamm4, random effects, Poisson and negative binomial GAMM, gamma GAMM, binomial GAMM, NB-P models, GAMMs with generalized extreme value distributions, overdispersion, underdispersion, two-dimensional smoothers, zero-inflated GAMMs, spatial correlation, INLA, Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques, JAGS, and two-way nested GAMMs. The book includes three chapters on the analysis of zero-inflated data. Across the book frequentist approaches (gam, gamm, gamm4, lme4) are compared with Bayesian techniques (MCMC in JAGS and INLA). Datasets on squid, polar bears, coral reefs, ruddy turnstones, parasites in anchovy, common guillemots, harbor porpoises, forestry, brood parasitism, maximum cod length, and Common Scoters are used in case studies. The R code to construct, fit, interpret, and comparatively evaluate models is provided at every stage.
