The average rating for Likelihood, Bayesian and MCMC Methods in Quantitative Genetics based on 2 reviews is 3 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-01 00:00:00 Brent Ellingsen I must admit that I really don't understand why this book is so highly rated. It is a good reference material. But as a learning material it's really horrible. The definitions are way to obtuse (confusingly similar notation used for distinct things, at several places new terms are used without ever being defined) and terse for learning. Unless you have someone at hand who already understands the presented notions you will slog through the content very slowly.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-10-09 00:00:00 Thomas Fortuna Too terse for my taste. The proofs are too telegraphic, probably with the intention of treating a large number of theorems / results. It's an excellent compendium (a lot of new material) but it's not a book to learn Graph Theory from.
