Focusing on practical implementation, this third edition emphasizes the details of procedures rather than their justification. It introduces new chapters on Bayesian decision theory and MCMC methods with BUGS software. The expanded section on hierarchical models includes a wealth of new applications across social science fields. Additionally, the number of exercises has doubled, and readers can access new datasets, code, and procedures for integrating BUGS packages with R through the author's website.
