Gelman, Carlin, Stern, Dunson, Vehtari & Rubin (2013) 'Bayesian Data Analysis' is the 3rd edition and serves as the standard reference for MCMC and hierarchical modeling in applied Bayesian data analysis.
Summary
This pins down a specific book, the third edition of Gelman's team on Bayesian Data Analysis from 2013, as the go-to source for practical methods like MCMC sampling and hierarchical modeling. It matters because the system will anchor its reasoning about Bayesian techniques to this one text as the default reference, rather than treating the field as a scattered set of competing sources.
