Advanced Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods: Learning from Past Samples

“The book is suitable as a textbook for one-semester courses on Monte Carlo methods, offered at the advance postgraduate levels.”  (Mathematical Reviews, 1 December 2012)

"Researchers working in the field of applied statistics will profit from this easy-to-access presentation. Further illustration is done by discussing interesting examples and relevant applications. The valuable reference list includes technical reports which are hard to and by searching in public data bases." (Zentralblatt MATH, 2011)

"This book can be used as a textbook or a reference book for a one-semester graduate course in statistics, computational biology, engineering, and computer sciences. Applied or theoretical researchers will also find this book beneficial." (Breitbart.com: Business Wire , 1 February 2011)

 

"The Markov Chain Monte Carlo method has now become the dominant methodology for solving many classes of computational problems in science and technology." (SciTech Book News, December 2010)
