Bayesian Inference for Probabilistic Risk Assessment provides a Bayesian foundation for framing probabilistic problems and performing inference on these problems. Inference in the book employs a modern computational approach known as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC).The MCMC approach may be implemented using custom-written routines or existing general purpose commercial or open-source software.This book uses an open-source program called OpenBUGS (commonly referred to as WinBUGS) to solve the inference problems that are described.A powerful feature of OpenBUGS is its automatic...
