A Bayesian Discovery Procedure.
We discuss a Bayesian discovery procedure for multiple comparison problems. We show that under a coherent decision theoretic framework, a loss function combining true positive and false positive counts leads to a decision rule based on a threshold of the posterior probability of the alternative. Under a semi-parametric model for the data, we show that the Bayes rule can be approximated by the o...
متن کاملCompetition as a Discovery Procedure
It would not be easy to defend macroeconomists against the charge that for 40 or 50 years they have investigated competition primarily under assumptions which, if they were actually true, would make competition completely useless and uninteresting. If anyone actually knew everything that economic theory designated as “data,” competition would indeed be a highly wasteful method of securing adjus...
متن کاملA semi-Bayesian study of Duncan's Bayesian multiple comparison procedure
Duncan's Bayesian decision-theoretic multiple comparison procedure requires a decision on the relative magnitudes of losses due to Type I and Type II errors. In this paper, the relative losses are chosen so that the procedure results in weak control of familywise error at the .05 level, i.e. the probability that all hypotheses are accepted is .95 when all hypotheses are true. Duncan's Bayesian ...
متن کاملA computationally efficient modular optimal discovery procedure
MOTIVATION It is well known that patterns of differential gene expression across biological conditions are often shared by many genes, particularly those within functional groups. Taking advantage of these patterns can lead to increased statistical power and biological clarity when testing for differential expression in a microarray experiment. The optimal discovery procedure (ODP), which maxim...
متن کاملA Discovery Procedure For Certain Phonological Rules
Acquisi t ion of phonological sys t ems can be insightfully s tudied in t e rms of discovery procedures. This paper describes a discovery procedure, implemented in Lisp, capable of determining a set of ordered phonological rules, which may be in opaque contexts~ from a set of surface forms arranged in paradigms. 1.
