Preface

The main goal of this book is to make the Bayesian inferential framework more approachable to students, researchers, and practitioners who wish to understand and apply this statistical/econometric approach but do not have the time to develop programming skills. I have aimed to strike a balance between applicability and theory. This book provides a very user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) to implement the most common regression models, while also covering the basic mathematical developments and their code implementation for those interested in advancing to more complex models.
