Markov chain Monte Carlo in practice
by Spiegelhalter, D. J., Gilks, W. R., Richardson, S.
In a family study of breast cancer, epidemiologists in Southern California increase the power for detecting a gene-environment interaction. In Gambia, a study helps a vaccination program reduce the incidence of Hepatitis B carriage. Archaeologists in Austria place a Bronze Age s…
This book draws together contributions from authorities in the field and fills the urgent need to communicate the state of the art to a general statistical audience. Emphasis is placed on practice rather than theory, although fundamental theoretical concepts are discussed. The i…
The 3x+1 problem, or Collatz problem, concerns the following seemingly innocent arithmetic procedure applied to integers: If an integer x is odd then "multiply by three and add one", while if it is even then "divide by two." The 3x+1 problem asks whether, starting from any posit…
