Bayesian Analysis Made Simple: An Excel GUI for WinBUGS
Chapman & Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series
This book, Bayesian Analysis Made Simple, illustrates the full functionality of the program (v5.0) via numerous case studies. (UK users will find the book here). A summary of the differences that would be seen when using v7 is provided here.
The data used in the case studies in this book are packaged with the BugsXLA download.
Paper
A paper discussing an earlier version of this package was published in the Journal of
Statistical Software, Vol. 14, 2005, Issue 5;
