ARTICLES ** 22 best papers (in my opinion!)
DURING 1970s Papers 1,2,7, and 12 were inspired by D.V. Lindley,
and have since been regarded b y Hitchcock and Agresti (2005) as initiating
a key approach in the history of Bayesian Categorical Data Analysis, that followed the
methodologies of Jack Good and Patricia Altham.
Nan Laird, Matthew Knuiman and Terry Speed then contributed to this logistic approach, and it
has been pursued exhaustively by Jon Forster, and by John Geweke and
other econometricians.
