It covers both the basic ideas of statistical theory, and also some of the more modern and advanced topics of Bayesian statistics such as complete class theorems, the Stein effect, Bayesian model choice, hierarchical and empirical Bayes modeling, Monte Carlo integration including Gibbs sampling, and other MCMC techniques. It was awarded the 2004 DeGroot Prize by the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA) for setting \"\u003cem\u003ea new standard for modern textbooks dealing with Bayesian methods, especially those using MCMC techniques, and that it is a worthy successor to DeGroot's and Berger's earlier texts\".\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChristian P.

There are many examples and exercises, some of which draw out the essence of work of other authors. Only a few displays and equations have numbers attached.
