A tutorial on Bayesian model averaging for exponential random graph models

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of exponential random graph models (ERGMs) is becoming prevalent in psychology due to their ability to explain and predict the formation of edges between vertices in a network. Valid inference with ERGMs requires correctly specifying endogenous and exogenous effects as network statistics, guided by theory, to represent the network ...

Comparing Bayes\u27s Theorem to Frequency-Based Approaches to Teaching Bayesian Reasoning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Despite the conceptual simplicity of Bayesian reasoning, people often err when calculating or estimating conditional probability. These mistakes can have significant real-world consequences, and Bayes\u27s Theorem is a notoriously difficult remedy to ...

An extension of the basic local independence model to multiple observed classifications

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The basic local independence model (BLIM) is appropriate in situations where populations do not differ in the probabilities of the knowledge states and the probabilities of careless errors and lucky guesses of the items. In some situations, this is not the case. This work introduces the multiple observed classification local independence model

When do proxy advisors improve corporate decisions?

open access: yesEconomic Inquiry, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper studies the impact of proxy advisors on shareholder decision‐making. We posit two assumptions: (i) the board is at least as well informed as any individual shareholder; (ii) shareholders can condition their information acquisition on the proxy advisor's (PA) recommendation.

Bayesian Posteriors Without Bayes' Theorem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The classical Bayesian posterior arises naturally as the unique solution of several different optimization problems, without the necessity of interpreting data as conditional probabilities and then using Bayes' Theorem.

Bayes’ Theorem: A Model for Human Probability Estimate Revision [PDF]

open access: yes, 1967
The purpose of this study was to examine Bayes\u27 Theorem as a model for the description of how humans utilize information based on uncertain (probabilistic) relationships between the relevant cues and the outcome ...

Underdetermined Magnetostatic Inverse Problem : Bayes Theorem application [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceThis paper deals with the use of the Bayesian approach to inverse an underdetermined problem. The modeled a priori information is statistically studied using either Unscented Transform (UT) method or Monte Carlo (MC) method to ...
