When in Doubt, Tax More Progressively? Uncertainty and Progressive Income Taxation
ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.

Overdispersed Nonlinear Regression Models
In this paper we propose nonlinear regression models in the biparametric family of distributions. In this class of models we propose two new classes of overdispersed nonlinear regression models: the first, defined from the overdispersion family of ...

A Non‐Parametric Framework for Correlation Functions on Product Metric Spaces
Summary We propose a non‐parametric framework for analysing data defined over products of metric spaces, a versatile class encountered in various fields. This framework accommodates non‐stationarity and seasonality and is applicable to both local and global domains, such as the Earth's surface, as well as domains evolving over linear time or time ...

On Integral Priors for Multiple Comparison in Bayesian Model Selection
Summary Noninformative priors constructed for estimation purposes are usually not appropriate for model selection and testing. The methodology of integral priors was developed to get prior distributions for Bayesian model selection when comparing two models, modifying initial improper reference priors. We propose a generalisation of this methodology to

Bayesian Estimation of Parameters Correlation of Bivariate Poisson Distribution [PDF]
In this study, based on Bayesian Generalized Linear Models, correlation between the parameters of two Poisson distributions was computed. Due to lack of the closed form for posterior distribution, hierarchical Bayesian statistics using the Metropolis ...

Likelihood Estimation for Stochastic Differential Equations with Mixed Effects
ABSTRACT Stochastic differential equations provide a powerful tool for modelling dynamic phenomena affected by random noise. When time series are observed for several experimental units, it is often the case that some of the parameters vary between the individual experimental units.

A Bayesian Joint Modeling Using Gaussian Linear Latent Variables for Mixed Correlated Outcomes with Possibility of Missing Values [PDF]
This paper proposes a Bayesian approach for the analysis of mixed correlated nominal, ordinal and continuous outcomes with possibility of missing values using a variation of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method named Parameter Expanded and ...

Higher connectivity of fiber graphs of Gr\"obner bases [PDF]
Fiber graphs of Gr\"obner bases from contingency tables are important in statistical hypothesis testing, where one studies random walks on these graphs using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm.
