Written by the leading experts in the field, this unique book:
Presents a unified treatment of Bayesian methods in marketing, with common notation and algorithms for estimating the models.
Provides a self-contained introduction to Bayesian methods.
Includes case studies drawn from the authors’ recent research to illustrate how Bayesian methods can be extended to apply to many important marketing problems.
Is accompanied by an R package, bayesm, which implements all of the models and methods in the book and includes many datasets. In addition the book’s website hosts datasets and R code for the case studies.
Bayesian Statistics and Marketing provides a platform for researchers in marketing to analyse their data with state-of-the-art methods and develop new models of consumer behaviour. It provides a unified reference for cutting-edge marketing researchers, as well as an invaluable guide to this growing area for both graduate students and professors, alike.
Peter E. Rossi is James Collins Professor of Marketing, Statistics and Economics at UCLA Anderson School of Management. Greg M. Allenby is the author of Bayesian Statistics and Marketing, published by Wiley.
