Bayesian Computational Methods
by Christian P. Robert
Publisher: arXiv 2010
Number of pages: 59
Description:
We will first present the most standard computational challenges met in Bayesian Statistics, focusing primarily on mixture estimation and on model choice issues, and then relate these problems with computational solutions.
