Bayesian statistics using Mathematica.

The writers use the Mathematica software system to perform Bayesian calculations of the type encountered in introductory presentations of Bayesian statistics. Mathematica has in excess of 700 system functions, permitting one to program at a very high level. System functions relate to areas such as...

      ab: The writers use the Mathematica software system to perform Bayesian calculations of the type encountered in introductory presentations of Bayesian statistics. Mathematica has in excess of 700 system functions, permitting one to program at a very high level. System functions relate to areas such as graphics, numerical computation, and symbolic computation, and these functions can easily be employed to perform many of the usual computations associated with Bayesian inference. The writers illustrate the ease with which numerical computation, graphics, and symbolic computation can be executed to analyze one- and two-dimensional probability density functions by examining a time series problem using oxygen uptake data from a burn patient.
