Reviewed by Ashok Bansal, Dept. of Statistics, U. of Delhi in the Newsletter of the Indian Chapter of ISBA, Vol. III, No. 1, Feb. 1998.
Some excerpts from the review follow:
"The book has 14 Chapters plus Appendix using the Bayesian Minitab
Macros... It is an introduction to
statistics for general students and takes the Bayesian view. Professor
Berry develops statistical ideas
using uncommonly interesting examples from science and sports with many
involving medicine...The mathematical level of this book is minimal. It is
probably the only introductory text book based on Bayesian ideas. As
Bayesian statistics is finding its way into the Indian Universities'
postgraduate curriculum, I feel
that Professor Berry's book will be found very useful by the younger
generation of Indian statisticians."
