Bernoulli, 2023 Exchangeability -- in which the distribution of an infinite sequence is invariant to reorderings of its elements -- implies the existence of a simple conditional independence structure that may be leveraged in the design of statistical models and inference procedures.

Asymptotic Efficiency of Point Estimators in Bayesian Predictive Inference
Mathematics, 2022 The point estimation problems that emerge in Bayesian predictive inference are concerned with random quantities which depend on both observable and non-observable variables.

Tractability through Exchangeability: A New Perspective on Efficient Probabilistic Inference [PDF]
, 2014 Exchangeability is a central notion in statistics and probability theory. The assumption that an infinite sequence of data points is exchangeable is at the core of Bayesian statistics.

A Central Limit Theorem for Predictive Distributions
Mathematics, 2021 Let S be a Borel subset of a Polish space and F the set of bounded Borel functions f:S→R. Let an(·)=P(Xn+1∈·∣X1,…,Xn) be the n-th predictive distribution corresponding to a sequence (Xn) of S-valued random variables.

Exchangeable choice functions [PDF]
, 2017 We investigate how to model exchangeability with choice functions. Exchangeability is a structural assessment on a sequence of uncertain variables. We show how such assessments are a special indifference assessment, and how that leads to a counterpart of

Family-based multi-SNP X chromosome analysis using parental information
Frontiers in Genetics, 2016 We propose a method for association analysis of haplotypes on the X chromosome that offers both improved power and robustness to population stratification in studies of affected offspring and their parents if all three have been genotyped.

On Exchangeability in Network Models [PDF]
, 2018 We derive representation theorems for exchangeable distributions on finite and infinite graphs using elementary arguments based on geometric and graph-theoretic concepts.

Implementing Markovian models for extendible Marshall–Olkin distributions
Dependence Modeling, 2022 We derive a novel stochastic representation of exchangeable Marshall–Olkin distributions based on their death-counting processes. We show that these processes are Markov.

Integrated multiple mediation analysis: A robustness–specificity trade-off in causal structure [PDF]
, 2020 Recent methodological developments in causal mediation analysis have addressed several issues regarding multiple mediators. However, these developed methods differ in their definitions of causal parameters, assumptions for identification, and ...

The Problem of Analogical Inference in Inductive Logic [PDF]
, 2016 We consider one problem that was largely left open by Rudolf Carnap in his work on inductive logic, the problem of analogical inference. After discussing some previous attempts to solve this problem, we propose a new solution that is based on the ideas ...
