This book presents modern Bayesian analysis in a format that is
accessible to researchers in the fields of ecology, wildlife
biology, and natural resource management. Bayesian analysis has
undergone a remarkable transformation since the early 1990s.
Widespread adoption of Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques has made
the Bayesian paradigm the viable alternative to classical
statistical procedures for scientific inference. The Bayesian
approach has a number of desirable qualities, three chief ones
being: i) the mathematical procedure is always the same, allowing
the analyst to concentrate on the scientific aspects of the
problem; ii) historical information is readily used, when
appropriate; and iii) hierarchical models are readily accommodated.
This monograph contains numerous worked examples and the requisite
computer programs. The latter are easily modified to meet new
situations. A primer on probability distributions is also included
because these form the basis of Bayesian inference. Researchers and
graduate students in Ecology and Natural Resource Management will
find this book a valuable reference.
