2008, Volume 03, Number 04, pp. 659--886
A new issue of the new electronic
journal BAYESIAN ANALYSIS has been
published at http://ba.stat.cmu.edu.
This quarter's issue features a
discussion paper by Tobias Ryden comparing
EM and MCMC methods in hidden Markov
modeling, with discussion by
Sylvia Fruhwirth-Schnatter and also by
Padhraic Smyth and Sergey Kirshner,
and rejoinder by the author. This paper
began as an invited presentation at
the ISBA-sponsosed "Bayesian Inference
in Stochastic Processes" (BISP) 5
conference in Valencia, Spain in July
2007. BISP 6 will take place in June 2009
in Bressanone/Brixen (BZ), Italy, and BA
will again be publishing refereed versions
of the conference's best papers; please see
http://www.mi.imati.cnr.it/conferences/bisp6.html
for more information.
The December 2008 issue includes the

The journal is sponsored by the
International Society for Bayesian
Analysis (ISBA). Its editors are Phil
Dawid, David Dunson, David Heckerman,
Michael Jordan, Antonietta Mira, and
Fabrizio Ruggeri. Brad Carlin is serving
as Editor-in-Chief, Herbie Lee is
Managing Editor, Angelika van der Linde
is Production Editor, Marina Vanucci is
Deputy Editor, and Pantelis Vlachos is
System Managing Editor.
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.
