Learning Bayesian Models with R - intense but highly rewarding.

I just finished Learning Bayesian Models with R, a book about machine learning and big data processing using Bayesian statistical algorithms.  I have to say that this book is not for the faint of heart.  But if you want to learn something very useful in the decades to come, then this is for you, faint-hearted included. It is an intensely mathematical read, but there's no other way to portray such elegance.

This book presents the equations needed without leaving anything out.  There are study section at the end of each chapter to help you verify your understanding, which is a nice addition. I do recommend thoroughly understanding the first two chapters before moving on to the rest of the book as they contain critical statistical logic that is needed to understand the mathematical models used in the rest of the book.

It's a great book and can be used as a resource for artificial intelligence and big data. It's also well organized with short clear details.
