Bayesian Testing of a Point Null Hypothesis Based on the Latent Information Prior

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
Bayesian testing of a point null hypothesis is considered. The null hypothesisis that an observation, x, is distributed according to the normal distribution with a mean ofzero and known variance q2.

How Uncertainty Affects Children's Exploration and Exploitation in Statistical Learning

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental input is inherently uncertain at both global and local levels. Depending on the level of uncertainty, cognitive systems dynamically adapt by shifting attention between exploiting learned regularities and exploring less predictable alternatives.

Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study

open access: yesJournal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 1531-1571, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.

Mascarene High Variability Shapes the Demography of a Wind‐Reliant Marine Top Predator

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Subtropical anticyclones are semi‐permanent atmospheric high‐pressure systems located in all five major ocean basins and are associated with large‐scale wind and weather patterns. They shape the physical environments of many species, yet their impacts on wildlife remain unexplored. We combined population and climate analyses to investigate the

Bayesian and Non-Bayesian Interval Estimators for the Poisson Mean

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2015
Seventeen different confidence intervals for the Poisson mean are compared using simulations and a real data application. The interval estimators include the Wald interval estimator, the score interval estimator, the exact interval estimator, the ...

The Bayesian Inference of Pareto Models Based on Information Geometry

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Bayesian methods have been rapidly developed due to the important role of explicable causality in practical problems. We develope geometric approaches to Bayesian inference of Pareto models, and give an application to the analysis of sea clutter.

Geometric Shrinkage Priors for Kählerian Signal Filters

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
We construct geometric shrinkage priors for Kählerian signal filters. Based on the characteristics of Kähler manifolds, an efficient and robust algorithm for finding superharmonic priors which outperform the Jeffreys prior is introduced.

On the Independence Jeffreys prior for skew--symmetric models with applications

open access: yes, 2013
We study the Jeffreys prior of the skewness parameter of a general class of scalar skew--symmetric models. It is shown that this prior is symmetric about 0, proper, and with tails $O(λ^{-3/2})$ under mild regularity conditions. We also calculate the independence Jeffreys prior for the case with unknown location and scale parameters.

Comparação bayesiana de modelos de previsão de diferenças esperadas nas progênies no melhoramento genético de gado Nelore Bayesian comparison of forecasting models to expected progenies difference in Nelore cattle genetic breeding

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2008
O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma análise bayesiana de modelos auto-regressivos de ordem p, AR(p), para dados em painel referentes às diferenças esperadas nas progênies (DEP) de touros da raça Nelore publicados de 2000 a 2006.

Feynman’s Ratchet and Pawl with Ecological Criterion: Optimal Performance versus Estimation with Prior Information

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
We study the optimal performance of Feynman’s ratchet and pawl, a paradigmatic model in nonequilibrium physics, using ecological criterion as the objective function.
