    Bayesian Modeling
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a project focused on signal detection theory with a cognitive emphasis, utilizing WinBUGS in MATLAB. The original poster seeks comprehensive references on Bayesian modeling and statistical inference, particularly in graphical modeling. They already have a practical tutorial but feel they lack foundational knowledge. A suggested starting point is MacKay's book on information theory, noted for its comprehensiveness. This highlights the need for solid theoretical resources in Bayesian modeling for effective project development.

I am starting a project on signal detection theory (cognitive focus), and working with a winbugs expansion in matlab. I am looking for good references, papers, books, anything that fully cover the theory of bayesian modeling and statistical inference (mostly with graphical modeling, since that is the most direct step I've found between analysis an programming). I already have access to a very good practical tutorial, but I find myself lacking the basis.

I would say start with MacKay's book on information theory. Pretty good and comprehensive.

I was reading a Bachelor thesis on Peano Arithmetic (PA). PA has the following axioms (not including the induction schema): $$\begin{align} & (A1) ~~~~ \forall x \neg (x + 1 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A2) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + 1 =y + 1 \to x = y) \nonumber \\ & (A3) ~~~~ \forall x (x + 0 = x) \nonumber \\ & (A4) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + (y +1) = (x + y ) + 1) \nonumber \\ & (A5) ~~~~ \forall x (x \cdot 0 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A6) ~~~~ \forall xy (x \cdot (y + 1) = (x \cdot y) + x) \nonumber...
