A valuable reference for epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and graduate students, this book presents an introduction to epidemiology that uses Bayesian statistical methods to explore the association between disease and risk. It includes a brief introduction to the concepts of epidemiology, the basic elements of Bayesian statistics, and the types of epidemiologic studies that can be analyzed by Bayesian methods. For each problem in epidemiology, the Bayesian analysis is derived and explained.
