About the Book

Bayesian Missing Data Problems: EM, Data Augmentation and Noniterative Computation presents solutions to missing data problems through explicit or noniterative sampling calculation of Bayesian posteriors. The methods are based on the inverse Bayes formulae discovered by one of the author in 1995. Applying the Bayesian approach to important real-wor

Table of Contents:
Introduction. Optimization, Monte Carlo Simulation and Numerical Integration. Exact Solutions. Discrete Missing Data Problems. Computing Posteriors in the EM-Type Structures. Constrained Parameter Problems. Checking Compatibility and Uniqueness. Appendix. References. Indices.

Review :
In Bayesian Missing Data Problems, the authors provide a new and appealing approach to handle missing data problems (MDPs), based on noniterative methods. ! the examples and real applications following key theorems and concepts are useful for readers to further understand the results and pinpoint major advantages or drawbacks about the proposed methodology. ! I recommend this book as a valuable reference for researchers interested in MDPs, and I believe that the methodology described in the book should be included in the up-to-date literature on missing data. ! the book stimulated my interest, suggesting an alternative way to think about MDPs. ! --Biometrics, June 2011 ! [this book] sits nicely alongside Tanner's Tools for Statistical Inference. ! For those interested in Bayesian computational methods, this book will be of great interest. ! --International Statistical Review (2010), 78, 3
