Describes the Bayesian approach to statistics at a level suitable for final year undergraduate and Masters students as well as statistical and interdisciplinary researchers. It is unusual in presenting Bayesian statistics with an emphasis on mainstream statistics, showing how to infer scientific, medical, and social conclusions from numerical data.

Categorical data requires a different methodology and techniques typically not encountered in introductory statistics courses. This title presents various ways of extracting real-life conclusions from contingency tables. It uses a Fisherian approach to categorical data analysis and incorporates numerous examples and real data sets.
