Bayesian consistent belief selection
A subjective expected utility agent is given information about the state of the world in the form of a set of possible priors. She is assumed to form her beliefs given this information. A set of priors may be updated according to Bayesrule, prior-by-prior, upon learning that some state of the world has not obtained. In a model in which information is completely summarized by this set of priors...
متن کاملBUGS in Bayesian Stock Assessments
This paper illustrates the ease with which Bayesian nonlinear state-space models can now be used for practical sheries stock assessment. Sampling from the joint posterior density is accomplished using Gibbs sampling via BUGS, a freely available software package. By taking advantage of the model representation as a directed acyclic graph, BUGS automates the hitherto tedious calculation of the fu...
متن کاملCase studies in Bayesian microbial risk assessments
BACKGROUND The quantification of uncertainty and variability is a key component of quantitative risk analysis. Recent advances in Bayesian statistics make it ideal for integrating multiple sources of information, of different types and quality, and providing a realistic estimate of the combined uncertainty in the final risk estimates. METHODS We present two case studies related to foodborne m...
متن کاملObjective Bayesian nets from consistent datasets
This paper addresses the problem of finding a Bayesian net representation of the probability function that agrees with the distributions of multiple consistent datasets and otherwise has maximum entropy. We give a general algorithm which is significantly more efficient than the standard brute-force approach. Furthermore, we show that in a wide range of cases such a Bayesian net can be obtained ...
متن کاملConsistent Bayesian updating with unconsidered propositions
In this paper, we employ the propositional approach developed by Grant and Quiggin (2004) and consider the properties of Bayesian updating in the presence of unconsidered propositions.
