bayesint: A Python Package for Calculating Bayesian Credible Intervals of Ratios of Beta Distributions

Journal of Open Research Software, 2021
We present 'bayesint', a Python package for calculating Bayesian credible intervals for ratios of two independent beta distributions such as are used when considering binomial data. Such data could be found in counts of events in medical diagnostic tests,

Bayesian Bootstrapped Correlation Coefficients [PDF]

Tutorials in Quantitative Methods for Psychology, 2022
We propose the Bayesian bootstrap (BB) as a generic, simple, and accessible method for sampling from the posterior distribution of various correlation coefficients that are commonly used in the social-behavioral sciences.

Serial Interval and Incubation Period Estimates of Monkeypox Virus Infection in 12 Jurisdictions, United States, May–August 2022

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
Using data from 12 US health departments, we estimated mean serial interval for monkeypox virus infection to be 8.5 (95% credible interval 7.3–9.9) days for symptom onset, based on 57 case pairs.

Dilemma of t-tests: Retaining or discarding choice and solutions [PDF]

Computational Ecology and Software, 2022
The t-test theory has laid the foundation of modern statistics and it is one of the main contents of statistics. This theory can be found in all statistics textbooks and is at the core of almost all applied statistics courses.

Bayesian Mixture Model to Estimate Freeway Travel Time under Low-Frequency Probe Data

Applied Sciences, 2022
This study develops a novel estimation method under low-frequency probe data using the Bayesian approach. Given the challenges in estimating travel time under low-frequency probe data and prior distribution of the parameters in a traditional Bayesian ...

orchaRd 2.0: An R package for visualising meta‐analyses with orchard plots

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Although meta‐analysis has become an essential tool in ecology and evolution, reporting of meta‐analytic results can still be much improved. To aid this, we have introduced the orchard plot, which presents not only overall estimates and their confidence ...

Evaluation of the accuracy of the IDvet serological test for Mycoplasma bovis infection in cattle using latent class analysis of paired serum ELISA and quantitative real-time PCR on tonsillar swabs sampled at slaughter.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Mycoplasma bovis (Mbovis) was first detected in cattle in New Zealand (NZ) in July 2017. To prevent further spread, NZ launched a world-first National Eradication Programme in May 2018.
