Opaque Prior Distributions in Bayesian Latent Variable Models

open access: yesMethodology, 2023
We review common situations in Bayesian latent variable models where the prior distribution that a researcher specifies differs from the prior distribution used during estimation.

Implementation Aspects in Regularized Structural Equation Models

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2023
This article reviews several implementation aspects in estimating regularized single-group and multiple-group structural equation models (SEM). It is demonstrated that approximate estimation approaches that rely on a differentiable approximation of non ...

A Multiple-Trait Bayesian Variable Selection Regression Method for Integrating Phenotypic Causal Networks in Genome-Wide Association Studies

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Bayesian regression methods that incorporate different mixture priors for marker effects are used in multi-trait genomic prediction. These methods can also be extended to genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Bayesian Evaluation of Inequality-Constrained Hypotheses in SEM Models Using M plus [PDF]

open access: yesStructural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Researchers in the behavioural and social sciences often have expectations that can be expressed in the form of inequality constraints among the parameters of a structural equation model resulting in an informative hypothesis. The question they would like an answer to is "Is the Hypothesis Correct" or "Is the hypothesis incorrect?".

A review of R-packages for random-intercept probit regression in small clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) are widely used to model clustered categorical outcomes. To tackle the intractable integration over the random effects distributions, several approximation approaches have been developed for likelihood-based ...
