Coherent frequentism [PDF]

, 2009
By representing the range of fair betting odds according to a pair of confidence set estimators, dual probability measures on parameter space called frequentist posteriors secure the coherence of subjective inference without any prior distribution.

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.

Information-based objective functions for active data selection [PDF]

, 1992
Learning can be made more efficient if we can actively select particularly salient data points. Within a Bayesian learning framework, objective functions are discussed that measure the expected informativeness of candidate measurements. Three alternative

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 ...

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 ...

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

Fuzzy Data Modeling and Parameter Estimation in Two Gamma Populations

IEEE Access
This study addresses the challenge of estimating parameters for two Gamma populations that share a common scale parameter but differ in their shape parameters, within the context of fuzzy data.

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.
