商品描述

The growth of biostatistics has been phenomenal in recent years and has been marked by considerable technical innovation in both methodology and computational practicality. One area that has experienced significant growth is Bayesian methods. The growing use of Bayesian methodology has taken place partly due to an increasing number of practitioners valuing the Bayesian paradigm as matching that of scientific discovery. In addition, computational advances have allowed for more complex models to be fitted routinely to realistic data sets.

Through examples, exercises and a combination of introductory and more advanced chapters, this book provides an invaluable understanding of the complex world of biomedical statistics illustrated via a diverse range of applications taken from epidemiology, exploratory clinical studies, health promotion studies, image analysis and clinical trials.

Key Features

  • Provides an authoritative account of Bayesian methodology, from its most basic elements to its practical implementation, with an emphasis on healthcare techniques.
  • Contains introductory explanations of Bayesian principles common to all areas of application.
  • Presents clear and concise examples in biostatistics applications such as clinical trials, longitudinal studies, bioassay, survival, image analysis and bioinformatics.
  • Illustrated throughout with examples using software including WinBUGS, OpenBUGS, SAS and various dedicated R programs.
  • Highlights the differences between the Bayesian and classical approaches.
  • Supported by an accompanying website hosting free software and case study guides.

Bayesian Biostatistics introduces the reader smoothly into the Bayesian statistical methods with chapters that gradually increase in level of complexity. Master students in biostatistics, applied statisticians and all researchers with a good background in classical statistics who have interest in Bayesian methods will find this book useful.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

生物統計學的成長在近年來是驚人的，並且在方法論和計算實用性方面都標誌著相當大的技術創新。其中一個經歷顯著增長的領域是貝葉斯方法。貝葉斯方法論的日益使用部分是因為越來越多的從業者認同貝葉斯範式與科學發現相匹配。此外，計算技術的進步使得更複雜的模型能夠常規地適應現實數據集。

通過範例、練習以及結合入門和更高級的章節，本書提供了對生物醫學統計複雜世界的寶貴理解，並通過來自流行病學、探索性臨床研究、健康促進研究、影像分析和臨床試驗等多樣化應用進行說明。

**主要特點**

- 提供貝葉斯方法論的權威說明，從最基本的元素到實際應用，重點在於醫療保健技術。
- 包含所有應用領域中常見的貝葉斯原則的入門解釋。
- 在生物統計應用中呈現清晰簡潔的範例，如臨床試驗、縱向研究、生物測定、生存分析、影像分析和生物資訊學。
- 全書以使用 WinBUGS、OpenBUGS、SAS 和各種專用 R 程式的範例進行說明。
- 突出貝葉斯方法與經典方法之間的差異。
- 附有支持網站，提供免費軟體和案例研究指南。

《貝葉斯生物統計學》平滑地引導讀者進入貝葉斯統計方法，章節的複雜程度逐漸增加。生物統計碩士生、應用統計學家以及所有對貝葉斯方法感興趣且具備良好經典統計背景的研究者都會發現本書非常有用。
