Along with many practical applications, this book presents an array of Bayesian inference and model selection procedures. It thoroughly explains the concepts, illustrates the deriv ations of various Bayesian model selection criteria through examples, and provides R code for implementation. The R code is available for download on the book's website. The text also applies Bayesian model averaging to many problems and compares the different types of simulation-based Bayesian model selection criteria, including the numerical calculation of Bayes factors, the Bayesian predictive information criterion, and the deviance information criterion.
