Klappentext A hands-on guide to Bayesian models with R! JAGS! Python! and Stan code! for a wide range of astronomical data types. Zusammenfassung This comprehensive guide to Bayesian methods in astronomy enables hands-on work by supplying complete R! JAGS! Python! and Stan code! to use directly or to adapt. A must-have for astronomers! its concrete focus on modeling! analysis! and interpretation will also be attractive to researchers in the sciences more broadly. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1.
