A tutorial on Bayesian model averaging for exponential random graph models

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of exponential random graph models (ERGMs) is becoming prevalent in psychology due to their ability to explain and predict the formation of edges between vertices in a network. Valid inference with ERGMs requires correctly specifying endogenous and exogenous effects as network statistics, guided by theory, to represent the network ...

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

Analysis of Reliability Characteristics of Bathtub-Shaped Distribution Under Adaptive Type-I Progressive Hybrid Censoring

IEEE Access, 2020
In reliability and life testing experiments, obtaining complete data still consumes lots of time, financial and human supports. A censoring scheme which can have balance between the total testing time, the used number of units and cost in life tests is ...

Bayesian variable selection using cost-adjusted BIC, with application to cost-effective measurement of quality of health care

, 2009
In the field of quality of health care measurement, one approach to assessing patient sickness at admission involves a logistic regression of mortality within 30 days of admission on a fairly large number of sickness indicators (on the order of 100) to ...

LLM‐based prior elicitation for Bayesian graphical modeling

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Bayesian graphical modeling framework, priors on network structure encode theoretical assumptions and uncertainty about the topology of psychological constructs under study. For instance, the Bernoulli prior specifies the probability of each pairwise interaction, the Beta–Bernoulli prior governs expected network density, and the ...

Political Partisanship and State‐Level Bank Efficiency

Financial Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between political partisanship and commercial bank efficiency in the United States from 1972 to 2020, assessing the persistent influence of political affiliations at the state and District of Columbia levels. Bank efficiency scores are estimated using a double‐bootstrap approach, and the analysis is conducted within

Limitations of Bayesian Evidence Applied to Cosmology

, 2008
There has been increasing interest by cosmologists in applying Bayesian techniques, such as Bayesian Evidence, for model selection. A typical example is in assessing whether observational data favour a cosmological constant over evolving dark energy.

High Cost and Low Trust: Insights From Qualitative Commercial Fishing Cost Data in the Northeast United States

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In fisheries management, socioeconomic data, specifically qualitative data analysis, is often underutilized. This study qualitatively analyzed a primary federal data collection effort in the Northeast United States, The Greater Atlantic Region Commercial Fishing Business Cost Survey.

“Nowhere else to go”: Slow abandonment and (en)closures of long‐term care in Los Angeles

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residential long‐term care facilities, known in California as “board and care” homes, have been closing rapidly in the last decade. Proponents assert these provide vital forms of housing and care to the poor and must be saved, while critics contend they perpetuate the institutionalization of people with disabilities and should be abolished ...
