Bayesian Ideas and Data Analysis (BIDA) is exactly what its title advertises: an introduction to Bayesian approaches to applied statistical modeling. Its authors, who are reknowned Bayesian statisticians, present a variety of insightful case studies of Bayesian data analysis, many of which have been drawn from their own research. The book is an excellent purchase for practitioners who are unfamiliar with Bayesian methods and want to learn to use them for their data-based research. BIDA also should be strongly considered as a primary text by teachers of introductory courses in applied Bayesian inference.
