Description
This text is written to provide a mathematically sound but accessible and engaging introduction to Bayesian inference specifically
for environmental scientists, ecologists and wildlife biologists. It emphasizes the power and usefulness of Bayesian methods in an ecological
context.
The advent of fast personal computers and easily available software has simplified the use of Bayesian and
hierarchical models . One obstacle remains for ecologists and wildlife biologists, namely the near absence of Bayesian texts written
specifically for them. The book includes many relevant examples, is supported by software and examples on a companion website and will
become an essential grounding in this approach for students and research ecologists.
Audience
Students and researchers in animal ecology, population ecology, wildlife management, conservation biology, and ecological and biological statistics.
