On a design consistency property of hierarchical Bayes estimators in finite population samplings. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We obtain a limit of a hierarchical Bayes estimator of a finite population mean when the sample size is large. The limit is in the sense of ordinary calculus, where the sample observations are treated as fixed quantities. Our result suggests a simple way

Merging expert and empirical data for rare event frequency estimation : pool homogenisation for empirical Bayes models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Empirical Bayes provides one approach to estimating the frequency of rare events as a weighted average of the frequencies of an event and a pool of events. The pool will draw upon, for example, events with similar precursors.

Estimating Bayes factors via thermodynamic integration and population MCMC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A Bayesian approach to model comparison based on the integrated or marginal likelihood is considered, and applications to linear regression models and nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) models are used as the setting in which to elucidate and

Applying Bayes linear methods to support reliability procurement decisions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Bayesian methods are common in reliability and risk assessment, however, such methods often demand a large amount of specification and can be computationally intensive.

Bayes linear kinematics in the analysis of failure rates and failure time distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Collections of related Poisson or binomial counts arise, for example, from a number of different failures in similar machines or neighbouring time periods.

Empirical Bayes methodology for estimating equipment failure rates with application to power generation plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Many reliability databases pool event data for equipment across different plants. Pooling may occur both within and between organizations with the intention of sharing data across common items within similar operating environments to provide better ...

Universal Bayes Estimators

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1978
Let $x_1, \cdots, x_n$ be i.i.d. random variables with a distribution depending on the real parameter. Under what conditions is a generalized Bayes estimator independent of the choice of the even loss function? The known answer to this question is that this independence holds if the posterior density is symmetric and unimodal.

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.

USP29‐regulated noncanonical stabilization of the hypoxia‐inducible factor‐α in aggressive prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We identify USP29 as the only DUB mirroring CA9 expression, a marker of hypoxia and HIF pathway activation associated with PCA aggressiveness. USP29 stabilizes HIF‐1α and HIF‐2α via a noncanonical mechanism that is independent of PHD/pVHL activity yet relies on proteasomal regulation, establishing USP29 as a previously unrecognized regulator of hypoxic

Asymptotic Behavior of Bayes' Estimates

open access: yesThe Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1964
This paper extends some of the results obtained by Freedman [2]. In Section 1 a class of prior distributions on the space of all substochastic distributions on the positive integers is given, such that along almost all sample sequences the corresponding posterior distributions of the expectations of all bounded functions on the positive integers are ...
