Length at life stages of the white shark Carcharodon carcharias in the western North Atlantic

open access: yesEndangered Species Research
Length at life stages of the white shark Carcharodon carcharias is not well known for most of the 9 populations of this species, including in the western North Atlantic (WNA).

Reference Priors For Non-Normal Two-Sample Problems

open access: yes
The reference prior algorithm (Berger and Bernardo, 1992) is applied to locationscale models with any regular sampling density. A number of two-sample problems is analyzed in this general context, extending the dierence, ratio and product of Normal means

Modeling growth curve parameters in Peruvian llamas using a Bayesian approach

open access: yesVeterinary and Animal Science
The objective of this study was to fit four nonlinear models (Brody, von Bertalanffy, Gompertz and Logistic) to realizations of llama weight, using frequentist and Bayesian approaches.

Prior distributions for variance parameters in hierarchical models [PDF]

open access: yes
Various noninformative prior distributions have been suggested for scale parameters in hierarchical models. We construct a new folded-noncentral- t family of conditionally conjugate priors for hierarchical standard deviation parameters, and then consider

A noninformative prior for neural networks

open access: yes, 2000
While many implementations of Bayesian neural networks use large, complex hierarchical priors, in much of modern Bayesian statistics, noninformative (flat) priors are very common.

Bayesian inference of Gaussian mixture models with noninformative priors

open access: yes, 2014
This paper deals with Bayesian inference of a mixture of Gaussian dis-tributions. A novel formulation of the mixture model is introduced, which includes the prior constraint that each Gaussian component is always as-signed a minimal number of data points.

Bayesian estimation of adaptability and stability parameters in watermelon genotypes using the Toler model

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology
The objective of this study was to evaluate the adaptability and phenotypic stability of watermelon hybrids across diverse environments in the semiarid region of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, using Toler’s simple linear and piecewise linear models under ...

Stellar Mass Calibrations for Local Low-mass Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The stellar masses of galaxies are measured from integrated light via several methods—however, few of these methods were designed for low-mass ( M _⋆ ≲ 10 ^8 M _⊙ ) “dwarf” galaxies, whose properties (e.g., stochastic star formation, low metallicity ...

Bayesian Analysis for Random Coefficient Regression Models Using Noninformative Priors

open access: yes
We apply Bayesian approach, through noninformative priors, to analyze a Random Coefficient Regression (RCR) model. The Fisher information matrix, the Jeffreys prior and reference priors are derived for this model.
