A simple Bayesian method of inferring extinction
—Determining whether a species has gone extinct is a central problem in both paleobiology and conservation biology. Past literature has mostly employed equations that yield confidence intervals around the endpoints of temporal ranges. These frequentist methods calculate the chance of not having seen a species lately given that it is still alive (a conditional probability). However, any reasonab...
متن کاملA Bayesian Method for the Extinction
We propose a Bayesian method to measure the total Galactic extinction parameters, RV and AV . Validation tests based on the simulated data indicate that the method can achieve the accuracy of around 0.01mag. We apply this method to the SDSS BHB stars in the northern Galactic cap and find that the derived extinctions are highly consistent with those from Schlegel et al. (1998). It suggests that ...
متن کاملA Simple and Flexible Bayesian Method for Inferring Step Changes in Cognition
Human behavioral data often shows patterns of sudden change over time. Sometimes the causes of these step changes are internal, such as learning curves that change abruptly when a learner implements a new rule. Sometimes the cause is external, such as when people’s opinions about a topic change in response to a new relevant event. Detecting change points in sequences of binary data is basic sta...
متن کاملA simple method for inferring strengths of protein-protein interactions.
Various computational methods have been proposed for inference of protein-protein interactions since protein-protein interaction plays an essential role in many cellular processes. One of well-studied approaches is to infer protein-protein interactions based on domain-domain interactions. To extend this approach, we proposed a method called LPNM to infer ratios of interactions, which outperform...
متن کاملA Non-Parametric Bayesian Method for Inferring Hidden Causes
We present a non-parametric Bayesian approach to structure learning with hidden causes. Previous Bayesian treatments of this problem define a prior over the number of hidden causes and use algorithms such as reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo to move between solutions. In contrast, we assume that the number of hidden causes is unbounded, but only a finite number influence observable varia...
