DOING BAYESIAN DATA ANALYSIS 3E: A Tutorial with R, Stan, brms, and the tidyverse

By John K. Kruschke and A. Solomon Kurz

Doing Bayesian Data Analysis: A Tutorial with R, Stan, brms, and the tidyverse, Third Edition, provides a carefully scaffolded tutorial from beginning concepts to advanced, realistic data analyses. The book uses a proven sequence of topics unique to Doing Bayesian Data Analysis. The first part covers foundational concepts of statistical models, probability, Bayesian reasoning, and computer programming in R and the tidyverse. The second part introduces all the concepts and methods of Bayesian data analysis, including the Stan modeling language, by using the simplest possible data structures and statistical models. The third part covers the generalized linear model, including multilevel (a.k.a. hierarchical) versions of regression and analysis of variance, for a variety of data types (metric, ordinal, nominal, dichotomous, count), using the convenient computer package called brms. Every concept and case is illustrated with detailed examples, and all computer code is available at the book's website. This book is intended for self-learners or classroom learning, for first-year graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and professionals. The methods apply to any field, including social sciences, biological sciences, and physical sciences, for any setting, including academia, government, business, and industry.
