Random discrete probability measures based on a negative binomial process

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract A distinctive functional of the Poisson point process is the negative binomial process for which the increments are not independent but are independent conditional on an underlying gamma variable. Using a new point process representation for the negative binomial process, we generalize the Poisson–Kingman distribution and its corresponding ...

How to measure statistical evidence and its strength: Bayes factors or relative belief ratios?

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Both the Bayes factor and the relative belief ratio satisfy the principle of evidence and are therefore valid measures of statistical evidence. Which of these measures of evidence is more appropriate? We argue here that there are questions concerning the validity of a commonly used definition of the Bayes factor based on a mixture prior, and ...

Subuniformity of harmonic mean p$$ p $$‐values

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We obtain several inequalities on the generalized means of dependent p$$ p $$‐values. In particular, the weighted harmonic mean of p$$ p $$‐values is strictly subuniform under several dependence assumptions of p$$ p $$‐values, including independence, negative upper orthant dependence, the class of extremal mixture copulas, and some Clayton ...

A probabilistic diagnostic for Laplace approximations: Introduction and experimentation

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Many models require integrals of high‐dimensional functions: for instance, to obtain marginal likelihoods. Such integrals may be intractable, or too expensive to compute numerically. Instead, we can use the Laplace approximation (LA). The LA is exact if the function is proportional to a normal density; its effectiveness therefore depends on ...

Testing Protocols for Obtaining Reliable Pair Distribution Functions from Laboratory X‐Ray Sources Using PDFgetX3

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, EarlyView.
This work explores data acquisition and reduction protocols for atomic pair distribution scheme that enhances high‐angle data collection, and the effects of instrumental parameters on resulting pair distribution functions are examined. A correction for sample absorption in PDFgetX3 is introduced. Herein, data acquisition protocols are explored and data
