effective current approaches to Bayesian modeling and computation in statistics and related fields, and a handbook of Bayesian methods in applied statistics for general users of and researchers in applied statistics.

Bayesian data analysis, like all data analysis, is an iterative process of model building, inference, model checking and evaluation, and model expansion. Visualization is helpful in each of these stages of the Bayesian workflow and it is indispensable when drawing inferences from the types of modern, high-dimensional models that are used by ...

The three steps of Bayesian data analysis I Three steps: 1.Setting up a probability model 2.Inference 3.Model checking I Then go back and improve the model

Summary. Modern Bayesian inference is highly computational but commonly pro-ceeds without reference to modern developments in statistical graphics. This should change. Visualization has two important roles to play in Bayesian data analysis: (1) For model checking, graphs of data or functions of data and estimated model

Abstract | Bayesian statistics is an approach to data analysis based on Bayes’ theorem, where available knowledge about parameters in a statistical model is updated with the information in observed data.

Bayesian data analysis takes Bayesian inference as a starting point but also in-cludes fitting a model to different datasets, alter-ing a model, performing inferential and predictive summaries (including prior or posterior predictive checks), and validation of the software used to fit the model. The most general programs currently available ...
