Description:
This book provides a succinct, yet motivated, account of Bayesian models of interest to geneticists, animal and plant scientists and population biologists, as well as of their implementation in practice. More specifically, the book introduces the reader to Bayesian and MCMC methods, especially the Gibbs sampler, as important tools for making inferences. The material presented here has been developed for a biologically minded audience. Biologists need a careful motivation of each model from a subject matter perspective, plus a detailed treatment of all algebraic steps needed to carry out the analysis.
