Bayesian Population Analysis using WinBUGS [EPUB ebook] 
A Hierarchical Perspective

Bayesian statistics has exploded into biology and its sub-disciplines, such as ecology, over the past decade. The free software program Win BUGS, and its open-source sister Open Bugs, is currently the only flexible and general-purpose program available with which the average ecologist can conduct standard and non-standard Bayesian statistics. – Comprehensive and richly commented examples illustrate a wide range of models that are most relevant to the research of a modern population ecologist- All Win BUGS/Open BUGS analyses are completely integrated in software R- Includes complete documentation of all R and Win BUGS code required to conduct analyses and shows all the necessary steps from having the data in a text file out of Excel to interpreting and processing the output from Win BUGS in R
