Eryn : A multi-purpose sampler for Bayesian inference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
In recent years, methods for Bayesian inference have been widely used in many different problems in physics where detection and characterization are necessary. Data analysis in gravitational-wave astronomy is a prime example of such a case.

Robust generalised Bayesian inference for intractable likelihoods [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B (Statistical Methodology), 2021
Generalised Bayesian inference updates prior beliefs using a loss function, rather than a likelihood, and can therefore be used to confer robustness against possible mis‐specification of the likelihood.

Adaptive User Interfaces and the Use of Inference Methods

open access: yesComputational Science and Techniques, 2021
Bayesian Networks are used to model a user's behaviour. There is not much research on the use of Frequentist Inference to accomplish this same task.

Bayesian causal inference: a critical review [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2022
This paper provides a critical review of the Bayesian perspective of causal inference based on the potential outcomes framework. We review the causal estimands, assignment mechanism, the general structure of Bayesian inference of causal effects and ...

RL with KL penalties is better viewed as Bayesian inference [PDF]

open access: yesConference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2022
Reinforcement learning (RL) is frequently employed in fine-tuning large language models (LMs), such as GPT-3, to penalize them for undesirable features of generated sequences, such as offensiveness, social bias, harmfulness or falsehood.

Randomization-based, Bayesian inference of causal effects

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2023
Bayesian causal inference in randomized experiments usually imposes model-based structure on potential outcomes. Yet causal inferences from randomized experiments are especially credible because they depend on a known assignment process, not a ...

Bayesian inference for compact binary coalescences with bilby: validation and application to the first LIGO–Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalogue [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
Gravitational waves provide a unique tool for observational astronomy. While the first LIGO–Virgo catalogue of gravitational-wave transients (GWTC-1) contains 11 signals from black hole and neutron star binaries, the number of observations is ...

Machine learning and Bayesian inference in nuclear fusion research: an overview

open access: yesPlasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2023
This article reviews applications of Bayesian inference and machine learning (ML) in nuclear fusion research. Current and next-generation nuclear fusion experiments require analysis and modelling efforts that integrate different models consistently and ...

Bayesian Inference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This chapter provides a overview of Bayesian inference, mostly emphasising that it is a universal method for summarising uncertainty and making estimates and predictions using probability statements conditional on observed data and an assumed model (Gelman 2008). The Bayesian perspective is thus applicable to all aspects of statistical inference, while

New Frontiers in Bayesian Modeling Using the INLA Package in R

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2021
The INLA package provides a tool for computationally efficient Bayesian modeling and inference for various widely used models, more formally the class of latent Gaussian models.
