A comparative review of dimension reduction methods in approximate Bayesian computation [PDF]
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) methods make use of comparisons between simulated and observed summary statistics to overcome the problem of computationally intractable likelihood functions.

Efficient utility-based clustering over high dimensional partition spaces [PDF]
Because of the huge number of partitions of even a moderately sized dataset, even when Bayes factors have a closed form, in model-based clustering a comprehensive search for the highest scoring (MAP) partition is usually impossible.

Power of Probability in Psychometrics. Review of the book “Bayesian Psychometric Modeling“
The emergence and development of Bayesian psychometrics is a result of psychometrics' desire to reduce measurement error. This book is the first to present a systematic description of the Bayesian approach in psychometric research.

Classical statistics involves ways to test hypotheses and estimate confidence intervals. Bayesian statistics involves methods to calculate probabilities associated with your hypotheses. The result is a posterior distribution that combines information from your data with prior beliefs.

Estimation Of Parameters And Selection Of Models Applied To Population Balance Dynamics Via Approximate Bayesian Computational [PDF]
Population balance models mathematically describe the particle size distribution based on modeling physical phenomena that influence the distribution, such as aggregation, growth, and breakage.

Learning Summary Statistics for Bayesian Inference with Autoencoders
For stochastic models with intractable likelihood functions, approximate Bayesian computation offers a way of approximating the true posterior through repeated comparisons of observations with simulated model outputs in terms of a small set of summary

Abstract The chapter “Bayesian Statistics” gives a brief overview of the Bayesian approach to statistical analysis. It starts off by examining the difference between frequentist statistics and Bayesian statistics. Next, it introduces Bayes’ theorem and explains how the theorem is used in statistics and model selection, with the ...

Bayesian Nonparametric Weighted Sampling Inference [PDF]
It has historically been a challenge to perform Bayesian inference in a design-based survey context. The present paper develops a Bayesian model for sampling inference in the presence of inverse-probability weights.

Why Bayesian Ideas Should Be Introduced in the Statistics Curricula and How to Do So
While computing has become an important part of the statistics field, course offerings are still influenced by a legacy of mathematically centric thinking.

Approximation of Bayesian predictive p-values with\ud regression ABC [PDF]
In the Bayesian framework a standard approach to model criticism is to compare some function of the observed data to a reference predictive distribution.
