About Bayesian Time Series Models
Product Description 'What's going to happen next?' Time series data hold the answers, and Bayesian methods represent the cutting edge in learning what they have to say. This ambitious book is the first unified treatment of the emerging knowledge-base in Bayesian time series techniques. Exploiting the unifying framework of probabilistic graphical models, the book covers approximation schemes, both Monte Carlo and deterministic, and introduces switching, multi-object, non-parametric and agent-based models in a variety of application environments. It demonstrates that the basic framework supports the rapid creation of models tailored to specific applications and gives insight into the computational complexity of their implementation. The authors span traditional disciplines such as statistics and engineering and the more recently established areas of machine learning and pattern recognition. Readers with a basic understanding of applied probability, but no experience with time series analysis, are guided from fundamental concepts to the state-of-the-art in research and practice. Review "this book is well organized. The experts in this field provide both breadth and depth. The book is suitable for statisticians, engineers, and computer scientists. Readers can definitely learn state-of-the-art techniques from it." Hsun-Hsien Chang, Computing Reviews "This volume is an ambitious attempt to bring researchers from many areas together into a common theme and exhibits well the challenges of such efforts in terms of finding a common ground or terminology. The book is well organized and the contributors provide highly technical material with "breath and depth." The topics in the book are very broad and several of them go beyond the common theme of "Bayesian time series." Perhaps an alternative title that would be more reflective of the contents of the book could be Highly structured probabilistic modeling for researchers interested in Bayesian methods, modern Monte Carlo, and time series." Gabriel Huerta, University of New Mexico for Journal of the American Statistical Association Book Description 'What's going to happen next?' Time series data hold the answers. This ambitious book is the first unified treatment of the emerging knowledge-base in Bayesian time series techniques. Readers with only a basic understanding of applied probability are guided from fundamental concepts to the state-of-the-art in research and practice.
