This book, Statistical Modeling and Computation, provides a unique introduction to modern statistics from both classical and Bayesian perspectives. It also offers an integrated treatment of mathematical statistics and modern statistical computation, emphasizing statistical modeling, computational techniques, and applications.

The 2nd edition changes the programming language used in the text from MATLAB to Julia. For all examples with computing components, the authors provide data sets and their own Julia codes. The new edition features numerous full color graphics to illustrate the concepts discussed in the text, and adds three entirely new chapters on a variety of popular topics, including:

  • Regularization and the Lasso regression
  • Bayesian shrinkage methods
  • Nonparametric statistical tests
  • Splines and the Gaussian process regression
