Allan Reese has resurrected a query I sent to Allstat last July. I sent
the summary of responses only to those who replied in order to minimize
traffic on Allstat.
Those interested in the topic of introducing Bayesian statistics to
biologists may be interested to learn that I sent a similar query to the
BAYES-NEWS list, and received more suggestions of articles specifically
on biology. The following is a summary of the recommendations I
received: the number of respondents suggesting each reference is given
in brackets where this was more than one.
