    Abstract

    Complex data and models now pervade biostatistics and epidemiology. Increasingly, Bayesian methods are seen as desirable tools to tame this complexity and make principled inferences from the data at hand. In this chapter we try to convey the flavor of what Bayesian methods have to offer, by describing a number of applications of Bayesian methods to health research. We emphasize the strengths of these approaches, and points of departure from non-Bayesian techniques.
