With Some Urgency

by JS

I’ve become increasingly convinced that I need to understand both applied and theoretical Bayesian inference. Since the department offers no courses on the subject (Engineering might, but that will have to wait for another semester), I’m collecting library books that deal (sometimes tangentially) with the subject.

The library has a lot of books that have one or more of the words Bayesian, statistics, inference or probability in the title.

I picked four at random to start:

1. Basic Principles and Applications of Probability Theory

2. Kendall’s Advance Theory of Statistics Volume 2B Bayesian Inference

3. Baseyian Core: A Practicle Approach to Computational Bayesian Statistics

4. Foundations of Modern Probability

We’ll see how it goes.
