The Valencia International Meetings on Bayesian Statistics, held every four years, provide the forum for researchers to come together and discuss frontier developments in the field. The resulting Proceedings provide a definitive, up-to-date overview encompassing a wide range of theoretical and applied research. This fifth Proceedings is no exception. In particular, it reflects a growing emphasis on computational issues, concerned with making Bayesian methods routinely available to applied practitioners, both statisticians and speciailists in other subject-matter, whose work depends on careful quantification of uncertainties. This book contains several invited papers by leading authorities.

Arvustused

In the preface, the editors say that they believe that "the Proceedings provide a definitive, up-to-date overview of current concerns and activity in Bayesian statistics, encompassing a wide range of theoretical and applied research." I concur with their belief, and I eagerly await publication of the proceedings of the next Valencia meeting. * The Statistician (1998), vol. 47, issue 2 * The range of topics is impressive. The excellent reputation of the conference, its proceedings and the subsequent contributions of this volume are presentative of the "state of the art" in the Bayesian world. * Metrika *
