Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan is an applied Bayesian statistics textbook by Richard McElreath.

A second edition of the book was published in 2020 with a considerable update to the text. This edition has more emphasis on using prior predictive simulation to understand prior distribution choices and illustrating additional statistical models (smoothing splines, robust regression, and models not within the generalized linear mixed model framework).
