Frontiers of Statistical Decision Making and Bayesian Analysis In Honor of James O. Berger

From the reviews:

“The book is a ‘Festschrift’ in honour of Jim Berger’s 60th birthday that was celebrated at a conference in spring 2010 in Texas. … All the papers are written by experts in their fields and represent the current state of the art in Bayesian modelling. … for those who are interested in Bayesian modelling, there are some interesting aspects to be detected. … the book is aimed for advanced researchers in Bayesian analyses.” (Wolfgang Polasek, International Statistical Review, Vol. 79 (3), 2011)

“This collection contains invited papers by statisticians to honor and acknowledge the contributions of James O. Berger to Bayesian statistics. These papers present recent surveys and developments within the area of statistical decision theory and Bayesian statistics and related topics. … Each chapter … provides a detailed treatment of the topic under consideration. … can be useful for graduate students and researchers from diverse fields of statistics and related disciplines. … this edited volume contains a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and information on Bayesian statistics.” (Technometrics, Vol. 53 (2), May, 2011)
