Subject: Bayesian Analysis - June 2009

2009, Volume 04, Number 02, pp. 191--412

This issue of Bayesian Analysis features 
a discussion paper by
Guosheng Yin of the MD Anderson Cancer 
Center, whose Division of
Quantitative Sciences has long been 
recognized as a preeminent center
of Bayesian research, both in theory and 
biomedical applications.
Dr. Yin develops a Bayesian generalized 
method of moments (GMM)
method, intended to rival the very 
popular generalized estimating
equations (GEE) methods in situations 
where exact likelihood
calculations are difficult.  The GMM 
approach is critically evaluated
both in the paper and in the 
accompanying discussions by Drs. Ming-Hui
Chen and Sungduk Kim of the University 
of Connecticut, and Dr. Ciprian
Crainiceanu of Johns Hopkins University.

The June 2009 issue includes the 
following articles:

Bayesian Analysis seeks to publish a 
wide range of articles that
demonstrate or discuss Bayesian methods 
in some theoretical or applied
context. The journal welcomes 
submissions involving presentation of new
computational and statistical methods; 
reviews, criticism, and
discussion of existing approaches; 
historical perspectives; description
of important scientific or policy 
application areas; case studies; and
methods for experimental design, data 
collection, data sharing, or
data mining. Evaluation of submissions 
is based on importance of content
and effectiveness of communication.
