Review text

This book consists of some examples of Bayesian methods applications to the analysis of epidemiological statistical data. It covers analysis of associations between risk exposures and diseases; adjustment of mortality data; regression methods; life tables analysis; survival analysis with Bayesian Kaplan-Meyer methods and Cox proportional hazards models; and screening for diseases. Examples are presented of the WinBUGS software application for sampling from posterior distributions via MCMC methods.NEWLINENEWLINE The mathematical explanations are very brief. Main attention is paid to the routine description of the data, the software application and the results of analysis. So the book can not be considered as a textbook or a monograph, but rather as a source of epidemiologic real life data analysis examples.
