[computer-go] Hint for good Bayes book wanted

I have a Phd in statistics. But Bayesian methods were at that time a non-topic. I know the general principles, but I want to learn a little bit more about the latest developments in the field. Bayes is now chic, there are many books about it. I assume also a lot of bad ones. Can anyone

Thanks, I did also a search on Amazon and these two looked the most interesting ones. I can order now with greater confidence. Chrilly You could try something like: Information Theory, Inference Learning Algorithms by David MacKay or maybe Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial by Devinderjit

Don't forget that David MacKay's book can be downloaded free from his site so you can see exactly what you are getting before you buy it. http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/mackay/itila/book.html - George On 7/23/07, chrilly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks, I did also a search on Amazon and

Absolutely the best book I've seen is: Christopher M. Bishop Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning It's totally awesome! Strong points: - It have both Bayesian and non Bayesian ways explained - the explanation is clear - figures are so helpful (and aesthetic) - it concentrates on prediction

Re: [computer-go] Hint for good Bayes book wanted

I own that book and can also recommend it. - George On 7/23/07, Łukasz Lew [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Absolutely the best book I've seen is: Christopher M. Bishop Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning It's totally awesome! Strong points: - It have both Bayesian and non Bayesian ways

I have the Neural Network Book from Bishop. It is also a good book. It puts Neural Nets into the proper statistical framework. Chrilly - Original Message - From: George Dahl To: computer-go Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 6:37 PM Subject: Re: [computer-go] Hint for good Bayes
