I have considered their application to various social and medical data sets as well as their comparison to Bayesian Networks. Data-driven scientists (data miners) such as Rosling believe that data can tell a story, that observation equals information, that the best way towards scientific progress is to collect data, visualize them and analyze them (data miners However, it is also less consistent with the way we think - we are nearly always ultimately curious about the Bayesian probability of the hypothesis (i.e. There aren't that many other people in psychology at NYU (or elsewhere) that use Mathematica. The only caveat being it is probably more than a few minutes to get familiar with it unless you can find a canned script or tutorial that does exactly what you want. There are a number of books on the subject and I've picked up a few in the last 2 months. * ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis (Use R!) * The Art of R I think that the Bayesian book has been beyond my needs and it is a big expensive. Applied Functional Data Analysis: methods and case studies. For a shorter introduction try Sivia' book: Data analysis - A Bayesian tutorial. Below are the bibliographic details for the three books that I recommend, as well as links to information about them on amazon.ca: Kruschke, J. Stan has all the generality and ease of use of BUGS, and can solve the multilevel generalized linear models described in Part II of the book Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models. John Krushke wrote a book called Doing Bayesian Data Analysis: A Tutorial with R and BUGS. Our lab uses Mathematica quite a bit for data analysis and building models. "Statistics books must take seriously the need to teach. They are: * Data Mining with R: Learning with Case Studies. "Think Stats: Probability and Statistics for Programmers" to help programmers understand and express statistical models, in particular the Bayesian statistics at the heart of many applications. Bernardo and Smith's 1994 book Bayesian Theory is perhaps most comprehensive, but quite mathematical. Data analysis: a Bayesian tutorial (2nd ed.). Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial - Google Books This book attempts to remedy the situation by expounding a logical and.
