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.
