Bayesian inference for bivariate ranks
A recommender system based on ranks is proposed, where an expert’s ranking of a set of objects and a user’s ranking of a subset of those objects are combined to make a prediction of the user’s ranking of all objects. The rankings are assumed to be induced by latent continuous variables corresponding to the grades assigned by the expert and the user to the objects. The dependence between the exp...
متن کاملBayesian Matching for Causal Inference
In this paper we provide Bayesian matching methods for finding the causal effect of a binary intake variable x ∈ {0, 1} on an outcome of interest y. One technique we introduce is a Bayesian variant of the classic Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983, 1984) propensity score matching method. We show how it is possible to find the posterior distribution of the Bayesian matched sample average treatment effect...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Modeling for Causal Inference
Researchers have long struggled to identify causal effects in non-experimental settings. Many recently-proposed strategies assume ignorability of the treatment assignment mechanism and require fitting two models – one for the assignment mechanism and one for the response surface. We propose a strategy that instead focuses on very flexibly modeling just the response surface using a Bayesian nonp...
متن کاملA Bayesian nonparametric causal model
Typically, in the practice of causal inference from observational studies, a parametric model is assumed for the joint population density of potential outcomes and treatment assignments, and possibly this is accompanied by the assumption of no hidden bias. However, both assumptions are questionable for real data, the accuracy of causal inference is compromised when the data violates either assu...
متن کاملExploiting Causal Independence in Bayesian Network Inference
A new method is proposed for exploiting causal independencies in exact Bayesian network inference. A Bayesian network can be viewed as representing a factorization of a joint probability into the multiplication of a set of conditional probabilities. We present a notion of causal independence that enables one to further factorize the conditional probabilities into a combination of even smaller f...
