Foreword
The publication of this ground-breaking and thought-provoking book in a prestigious Springer series will be a source of particular pleasure and of stimulus for all scientists who have used Bayesian methods in their own specialized area of Bioinformatics, and of excitement for those who have wanted to understand them and learn how to use them but have never dared ask. I met the lead author, Dr. Hamelryck, at the start of his career, when, as part of his PhD in Protein Crystallography, he determined and proceeded to analyze in great detail the 3D structures of several tight protein-carbohydrate complexes. His attention was drawn to Bayesian and related statistical methods by the profound impact they were having at
