Even if you're not doing medical research, I like a lot about Spiegelhalter's book: http://www.amazon.com/Bayesian-Approaches-Health-Care-Evaluation-Statistics/dp/0471499757/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327112075&sr=8-1
For interacting with R and JAGS/BUGS my two favorite books that cover theory are Carlin & Louis and the 2nd half of Gelman & Hill. http://www.amazon.com/Bayesian-Methods-Analysis-Chapman-Statistical/dp/1584886978 http://www.amazon.com/Analysis-Regression-Multilevel-Hierarchical-Models/dp/052168689X If you have a handle on the theory, Jim Ablert's book (previously mentioned by Rich Shepard) is fun. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Bayesian-data-analysis-recommendations-tp4311905p4315237.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
