Short title: Bayesian Demography
Bayesian statistics offers an alternative to classical (frequentist) statistics. It is distinguished by its use of probability distributions to describe uncertain quantities, what leads to elegant solutions to many difficult statistical problems. Although Bayesian demography, like Bayesian statistics more generally, is around 250 years old, only recently has it begun to flourish. The aim of thi...
متن کامل250 million years of bindin evolution.
Bindin plays a central role in sperm-egg attachment and fusion in sea urchins (echinoids). Previous studies determined the DNA sequence of bindin in two orders of the class Echinoidea, representing 10% of all echinoid species. We report sequences of mature bindin from five additional genera, representing four new orders, including the distantly related sand dollars, heart urchins, and pencil ur...
متن کاملBayesian Posteriors Without Bayes' Theorem
The classical Bayesian posterior arises naturally as the unique solution of several different optimization problems, without the necessity of interpreting data as conditional probabilities and then using Bayes' Theorem. For example, the classical Bayesian posterior is the unique posterior that minimizes the loss of Shannon information in combining the prior and the likelihood distributions. The...
متن کاملDesign , Bayesian Persuasion and Bayes Correlated Equilibrium
A set of players have preferences over a set of outcomes. We consider the problem of an "information designer" who can choose an information structure for the players to serve his ends, but has no ability to change the mechanism (or force the players to make particular action choices). We describe a unifying perspective for information design. We consider a simple example of Bayesian persuasion...
متن کاملDistributed Bayes Blocks for Variational Bayesian Learning
In this work preliminary results on a distributed version of Bayes Blocks software library [1, 4] are presented. Bayes Blocks is a software implementation of the variational Bayesian building block framework [7] that allows automated derivation of variational learning procedures for a variety of models, including nonlinear and variance models. The library is implemented in C++ with Python bindi...
