13.7 Summary

Most readers are likely aware of the strong resurgence of Bayesian methods over the past two decades due largely to the development and availability of efficient algorithms for generating samples from Bayesian posterior probability distributions, such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (Gelfand et al. 1990, Tierney 1994, Robert 1994). Computations are now less of a critical difficulty ...
