Priors for Random Count Matrices Derived from a Family of Negative Binomial Processes

, 2015
We define a family of probability distributions for random count matrices with a potentially unbounded number of rows and columns. The three distributions we consider are derived from the gamma-Poisson, gamma-negative binomial, and beta-negative binomial

A Bayesian adaptive marker‐stratified design for molecularly targeted agents with customized hierarchical modeling [PDF]

, 2019
It is well known that the treatment effect of a molecularly targeted agent (MTA) may vary dramatically, depending on each patient's biomarker profile. Therefore, for a clinical trial evaluating MTA, it is more reasonable to evaluate its treatment effect ...

Disoriented Chiral Condensates, Pion Probability Distributions and Parallels with Disordered System [PDF]

, 1999
A general expression is discussed for pion probability distributions coming from relativistic heavy ion collisions. The general expression contains as limits: 1) The disoriented chiral condensate (DCC), 2) the negative binomial distribution and Pearson ...

Assessing the adequacy of lymph node yield for different tumor stages of colon cancer by nodal staging scores

BMC Cancer, 2017
Background According to the current official guidelines, at least 12 lymph nodes (LNs) are qualified as an adequate sampling for colon cancer patients. However, patients evaluated with less nodes were still common in the United States, and the prevalence

The Overlooked Potential of Generalized Linear Models in Astronomy-III: Bayesian Negative Binomial Regression and Globular Cluster Populations [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper, the third in a series illustrating the power of generalized linear models (GLMs) for the astronomical community, we elucidate the potential of the class of GLMs which handles count data.

Detectability of Plasmodium falciparum clones. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: In areas of high transmission people often harbour multiple clones of Plasmodium falciparum, but even PCR-based diagnostic methods can only detect a fraction (the detectability, q) of all clones present in a host.

An Extension of Generalized Linear Models to Finite Mixture Outcome Distributions

, 2016
Finite mixture distributions arise in sampling a heterogeneous population. Data drawn from such a population will exhibit extra variability relative to any single subpopulation.

The temporal dynamics of the tracheal microbiome in tracheostomised patients with and without lower respiratory infections.

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundAirway microbiota dynamics during lower respiratory infection (LRI) are still poorly understood due, in part, to insufficient longitudinal studies and lack of uncontaminated lower airways samples.

A Note on Bayesian Estimation for the Negative-Binomial Model [PDF]

, 2009
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 62F15.The Negative Binomial model, which is generated by a simple mixture model, has been widely applied in the social, health and economic market prediction.
