Biography
Paul Gustafson is a professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of British Columbia. He is the statistics editor for Epidemiology as well as an associate editor for the Journal of the American Statistical Association (Applications and Case Studies Section) and Statistics in Medicine. His current research focuses on identification issues in Bayesian analysis.
"… In this little gem of a monograph, Paul Gustafson … argues that partially identified models should not be so quickly dismissed. … Gustafson has drawn together many discussions of identifiability from previous Bayesian analyses (including his own), which are not widely known in non-Bayesian circles. The writing is concise. The examples are simple and insightful. The reader need not be a Bayesian to appreciate this fine monograph."
—Dale J. Poirier, University of California, Irvine, in Journal of the American Statistical Association, January 2017
