A First Course in Bayesian Statistical Methods
introduction to statistical modeling. Like the course, this book is intended to be a self-contained and compact introduction to the main concepts of Bayesian theory and practice. By the end of the text, readers should have the ability to understand and implement the basic tools of Bayesian statistical methods for their own data analysis purposes.

However, a case may also be used for theory testing, either if the case is used for quantitative data sampling (see Petermann, 1989), or, in a replication logic, if the research team investigates “whether similar causal events—within each case— produce these positive outcomes” (Yoon & Hwang, 1995, p. 12). Note that the theory
