Data-driven scientists (data miners) such as Rosling believe that data can tell a story, that observation equals information, that the best way towards scientific progress is to collect data, visualize them and analyze them (data miners However, it is also less consistent with the way we think - we are nearly always ultimately curious about the Bayesian probability of the hypothesis (i.e. There is an explosion of interest in Bayesian statistics, primarily because recently created computational methods have finally made Bayesian analysis obtainable to a wide audience. The only caveat being it is probably more than a few minutes to get familiar with it unless you can find a canned script or tutorial that does exactly what you want. Our lab conference table is currently hosting a Bayesian data analysis / programming in R learning group. Here, we introduce a hierarchical Bayesian approach to count data. His best-known work is Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial published in 1996. They are: * Data Mining with R: Learning with Case Studies. There are a number of books on the subject and I've picked up a few in the last 2 months. The book is widely used by undergraduate students of physical sciences and cited by peers and colleagues of this field. * ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis (Use R!) * The Art of R I think that the Bayesian book has been beyond my needs and it is a big expensive. Many ecological studies use the analysis of count data to arrive at biologically meaningful inferences.
