An Optimization Approach of Deriving Bounds between Entropy and Error from Joint Distribution: Case Study for Binary Classifications

open access: yesEntropy, 2016
In this work, we propose a new approach of deriving the bounds between entropy and error from a joint distribution through an optimization means. The specific case study is given on binary classifications.

Unforeseen Evidence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
I propose a normative updating rule, extended Bayesianism, for the incorporation of probabilistic information arising from the process of becoming more aware. Extended Bayesianism generalizes standard Bayesian updating to allow the posterior to reside on richer probability space than the prior.

What is the Probability you are a Bayesian? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Statistics Education, 2014
Bayesian methodology continues to be widely used in statistical applications. As a result, it is increasingly important to introduce students to Bayesian thinking at early stages in their mathematics and statistics education. While many students in upper level probability courses can recite the differences in the Frequentist and Bayesian inferential ...

On revision of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement: Proofs of fundamental errors in Bayesian approaches

open access: yesMeasurement: Sensors, 2022
The process of revising the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) is ongoing. A successful revision must be theoretically sound, so it must be based on a recognized paradigm for scientific data analysis.

Semiparametric Bayesian Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
We introduce semiparametric Bayesian networks that combine parametric and nonparametric conditional probability distributions. Their aim is to incorporate the advantages of both components: the bounded complexity of parametric models and the flexibility of nonparametric ones.

Predicting Facial Biotypes Using Continuous Bayesian Network Classifiers

open access: yesComplexity, 2018
Bayesian networks are useful machine learning techniques that are able to combine quantitative modeling, through probability theory, with qualitative modeling, through graph theory for visualization.

Model selection in Medical Research: A simulation study comparing Bayesian Model Averaging and Stepwise Regression

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2010
Background Automatic variable selection methods are usually discouraged in medical research although we believe they might be valuable for studies where subject matter knowledge is limited.

Some Applications of Bayes' Rule in Probability Theory to Electrocatalytic Reaction Engineering

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemistry, 2011
Bayesian methods stem from the principle of linking prior probability and conditional probability (likelihood) to posterior probability via Bayes' rule.

A Bayesian Density Model Based Radio Signal Fingerprinting Positioning Method for Enhanced Usability

open access: yesSensors, 2018
Indoor navigation and location-based services increasingly show promising marketing prospects. Indoor positioning based on Wi-Fi radio signal has been studied for more than a decade because Wi-Fi, a signal of opportunity without extra cost, is ...

Neural representation of probabilities for Bayesian inference [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Computational Neuroscience, 2015
Bayesian models are often successful in describing perception and behavior, but the neural representation of probabilities remains in question. There are several distinct proposals for the neural representation of probabilities, but they have not been directly compared in an example system.
