An Introduction to Bayesian Scientific Computing Ten Lectures on Subjective Computing
A combination of the concepts subjective – or Bayesian – statistics and scientific computing, the book provides an integrated view across numerical linear algebra and computational statistics. Inverse problems act as the bridge between these two fields where the goal is to estimate an unknown parame...
