I found the use of R, the code in the book, and the</em></span> <span><em>companion R package, <a target="_blank" href="https://xianblog.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/packed-off/">bayess</a>, to be helpful to those who want to begin using</em></span>  <span><em>Bayesian methods in data analysis. One topic that I would like to see added is </em></span><span><em>the use of Bayesian methods in change point problems, a topic that we found </em></span><span><em>useful in a recent article and which could be added to the time series chapter. </em></span><span><em>Overall this is a solid book and well worth considering by its intended audience.”</em></span><br>
