Comment on Probabilistic Programming & Bayesian Methods for HackersparentComments−Blahah13yI would add to that two classics with free PDFs available from the authors' websites:1. David Barber: Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning2. David MacKay: Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms[1] http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/d.barber/brml/[2] http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/mackay/itila/Both require a willingness to immerse in the mathematics. But the maths isn't hard, even for someone like me who hasn't formally studied it since I was 15.
