Praise for Bayesian Thinking in Biostatistics: This thoroughly modern Bayesian book …is a 'must have' as a textbook or a reference volume. Rosner Laud and Johnson make the case for Bayesian approaches by melding clear exposition on methodology with serious attention to a broad array of illuminating applications. These are activated by excellent coverage of computing methods and provision of code. Their content on model assessment robustness data-analytic approaches and predictive assessments…are essential to valid practice. The numerous exercises and professional advice make the book ideal as a text for an intermediate-level course… -Thomas Louis Johns Hopkins University The book introduces all the important topics that one would usually cover in a beginning graduate level class on Bayesian biostatistics. The careful introduction of the Bayesian viewpoint and the mechanics of implementing Bayesian inference in the early chapters makes it a complete self- contained introduction to Bayesian inference for biomedical problems…. Another great feature for using this book as a textbook is the inclusion of extensive problem sets going well beyond construed and simple problems. Many exercises consider real data and studies providing very useful examples in addition to serving as problems. Peter Mueller University of Texas With a focus on incorporating sensible prior distributions and discussions on many recent developments in Bayesian methodologies Bayesian Thinking in Biostatistics considers statistical issues in biomedical research. The book emphasizes greater collaboration between biostatisticians and biomedical researchers. The text includes an overview of Bayesian statistics a discussion of many of the methods biostatisticians frequently use such as rates and proportions regression models clinical trial design and methods for evaluating diagnostic tests. Key Features Applies a Bayesian perspective to applications in biomedical science Highlights advances in clinical trial design Goes beyond standard statistical models in the book by introducing Bayesian nonparametric methods and illustrating their uses in data analysis Emphasizes estimation of biomedically relevant quantities and assessment of the uncertainty in this estimation Provides programs in the BUGS language with variants for JAGS and Stan that one can use or adapt for one's own research The intended audience includes graduate students in biostatistics epidemiology and biomedical researchers in general Authors Gary L. Rosner is the Eli Kennerly Marshall Jr. Professor of Oncology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Professor of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Purushottam (Prakash) W. Laud is Professor in the Division of Biostatistics and Director of the Biostatistics Shared Resource for the Cancer Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Wesley O. Johnson is professor Emeritus in the Department of Statistics as the University of California Irvine.

For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer.
