Bayes estimators for phylogenetic reconstruction
Tree reconstruction methods are often judged by their accuracy, measured by how close they get to the true tree. Yet, most reconstruction methods like maximum likelihood (ML) do not explicitly maximize this accuracy. To address this problem, we propose a Bayesian solution. Given tree samples, we propose finding the tree estimate that is closest on average to the samples. This "median" tree is k...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...
متن کاملUnbiasedness and Bayes Estimators
A simple geometric representation of Bayes and unbiased rules for squared error loss is provided. Some orthogonality relationships between them and the functions they are estimating are proved. Bayes estimators are shown to be behave asymptotically like unbiased estimators.
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimators for Borel { TannerDistributionGeorge
The Borel-Tanner probability distribution was derived by Borel (1942) and Tanner (1953) to characterize the distribution behavior of the number of customers served in a queuing system with Poisson input and constant service time. Later this probability distribution was applied in some models for random trees and branching processes. In the latter case one of the parameters can be interpreted as...
متن کاملSome Bayes estimators for the repairable system
An impressive array of paper has been devoted to the reliability properties and the hazard rates of the order statistics along with IFR (increasing failure rate) and DFR (decreasing failure rate) property. However, studies relating to the Bayesian estimation on the repairable system along with IFR property of the failure time distribution and on the repair time distributions have received compa...
