Combining multiple imperfect data sources for small area estimation: a Bayesian model of provincial fertility rates in Cambodia

open access: yesStatistical Theory and Related Fields, 2019
Demographic estimation becomes a problem of small area estimation when detailed disaggregation leads to small cell counts. The usual difficulties of small area estimation are compounded when the available data sources contain measurement errors.

Estimating Biological Reference Points of the Pink Shrimp, Farfantepenaeus notialis (Perez-Farfante, 1967) Targeted by Shrimp Trawlers in Sierra Leone

open access: yesÇanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Journal of Marine Sciences and Fisheries, 2022
Time series of catch and effort data for Farfantepenaeus notialis were analysed in ‘R’ using a data limited state-space Bayesian Catch-maximum Sustainbale Yield (CMSY) method for stock assessment from catch (tonnes) and abundance data (t/day).

Advanced Bayesian Multilevel Modeling with the R Package brms [PDF]

open access: yesThe R Journal, 2017
The brms package allows R users to easily specify a wide range of Bayesian single-level and multilevel models, which are fitted with the probabilistic programming language Stan behind the scenes. Several response distributions are supported, of which all

Thou Shalt Not Squander Life – Comparing Five Approaches to Argument Strength

open access: yesStudies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2023
Different approaches analyze the strength of a natural language argument in different ways. This paper contrasts the dialectical, structural, probabilistic (or Bayesian), computational, and empirical approaches by exemplarily applying them to a single ...

Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification for Channelized Reservoirs via Reduced Dimensional Parameterization

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
In this article, we study uncertainty quantification for flows in heterogeneous porous media. We use a Bayesian approach where the solution to the inverse problem is given by the posterior distribution of the permeability field given the flow and ...

Sleeping Beauty on Monty Hall

open access: yesPhilosophies, 2020
Inspired by the Monty Hall Problem and a popular simple solution to it, we present a number of game-show puzzles that are analogous to the notorious Sleeping Beauty Problem (and variations on it), but much easier to solve.

Exploring cognitive individuality and the underlying creativity in statistical learning and phase entrainment

open access: yesEXCLI Journal : Experimental and Clinical Sciences, 2023
Statistical learning starts at an early age and is intimately linked to brain development and the emergence of individuality. Through such a long period of statistical learning, the brain updates and constructs statistical models, with the model's ...

The impact of foreign direct investment on income inequality in developing countries: The Bayesian approach

open access: yesJurnal Ekonomi & Studi Pembangunan, 2023
Inequality in general and income inequality in particular have existed for a long time and tend to increase daily. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is expected to be an important factor contributing to mitigating that situation.
