Bayesian methods in cosmology / [edited by] Michael P. Hobson ... [et al.].

"In recent years cosmologists have advanced from largely qualitative models of the Universe to precision modelling using Bayesian methods, in order to determine the properties of the Universe to high accuracy. This timely book is the only comprehensive introduction to the use of Bayesian method...
