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

Incentive contract design for supplier reliability: The role of asymmetric information on reliability level and improvement costs

open access: yesDecision Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract We study a supply chain subject to supply disruptions, where the supplier can exert costly effort to mitigate the impact of disruptions and improve reliability. The supplier's current reliability level and the cost of improving reliability can each be high or low and are privately known only to the supplier.

Develop a web-based system using the Naïve Bayes algorithm to predict asphyxia neonatal

open access: yesMedisains
Introduction: Most cases of perinatal asphyxia are caused by conditions unrelated to labor. When asphyxia occurs during childbirth, it is usually caused by an obstetric emergency that was not detected during pregnancy. It is essential to prevent asphyxia

Estimating Functions of Probability Distributions from a Finite Set of Samples, Part 1: Bayes Estimators and the Shannon Entropy

open access: yes, 1994
We present estimators for entropy and other functions of a discrete probability distribution when the data is a finite sample drawn from that probability distribution. In particular, for the case when the probability distribution is a joint distribution,

The Impact of Risk Exposure and Environmental Conditions on European Banking Efficiency

open access: yesEuropean Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the determinants of bank cost efficiency in Europe by applying a dynamic Bayesian stochastic frontier approach. We distinguish between two conceptually and empirically separate components of efficiency: (1) an intrinsic component, driven by internal bank features such as size and risk exposure, and (2) an extrThis study

When in Doubt, Tax More Progressively? Uncertainty and Progressive Income Taxation

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.

Debt Ceilings With Fiscal Intransparency and Imperfect Electoral Accountability

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study optimal debt ceilings in a political‐agency model with uncertainty about both policymaker type (benevolent or selfish) and economic state (good or bad). Elections generate disciplining and selection effects that differ across pooling, hybrid, and separating equilibria induced by different ceilings.
