BAT - The Bayesian Analysis Toolkit [PDF]
We describe the development of a new toolkit for data analysis. The analysis package is based on Bayes' Theorem, and is realized with the use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo. This gives access to the full posterior probability distribution.

Multiscale Bayesian survival analysis [PDF]
We consider Bayesian nonparametric inference in the right-censoring survival model, where modeling is made at the level of the hazard rate. We derive posterior limiting distributions for linear functionals of the hazard, and then for `many' functionals simultaneously in appropriate multiscale spaces.

Informed Bayesian survival analysis
AbstractBackgroundWe provide an overview of Bayesian estimation, hypothesis testing, and model-averaging and illustrate how they benefit parametric survival analysis. We contrast the Bayesian framework to the currently dominant frequentist approach and highlight advantages, such as seamless incorporation of historical data, continuous monitoring of ...

Bayesian exploratory factor analysis [PDF]
This paper develops and applies a Bayesian approach to Exploratory Factor Analysis that improves on ad hoc classical approaches. Our framework relies on dedicated factor models and simultaneously determines the number of factors, the allocation of each measurement to a unique factor, and the corresponding factor loadings.

Bayesian cluster analysis offers substantial benefits over algorithmic approaches by providing not only point estimates but also uncertainty in the clustering structure and patterns within each cluster. An overview of Bayesian cluster analysis is provided, including both model-based and loss-based approaches, along with a discussion on the importance ...

Maximizing information obtained from standardized fire tests using a Bayesian framework
Current practice is mostly focused on prescriptive design approaches where the performance of the structure in case of fire is assessed based on its performance in standardized fire tests.

Brief use of a specific gun in a violent game does not affect attitudes towards that gun [PDF]
Although much attention has been paid to the question of whether violent video games increase aggressive behaviour, little attention has been paid to how such games might encourage antecedents of gun violence.
