Introduction to WinBUGS for ecologists : a Bayesian approach to regression, ANOVA, mixed models, and related analyses /

Bayesian statistics has exploded into biology and its sub-disciplines such as ecology over the past decade. The free software program WinBUGS and its open-source sister OpenBugs is currently the only flexible and general-purpose program available with which the average ecologist can conduct their ow...
