Predicting waste generation using Bayesian model averaging
A prognosis model has been developed for solid waste generation from households in Hoi An City, a famous tourist city in Viet Nam. Waste sampling, followed by a questionnaire survey, was carried out to gather data. The Bayesian model average method was used to identify factors significantly associated with waste generation. Multivariate linear regression analysis was then applied to evaluate th...
متن کاملWater Management Impact Assessment Using a Bayesian Network Model
The network includes all the variables and elements that are supposed to have an influence on the ecological quality of the catchment. Links between nodes representing causal relations are described in conditional probability tables, allowing the model to deal with uncertainties. Tables were filled thanks to calculations, evaluations and/or expert opinions. The numerical model was then develope...
متن کاملAssessment of substitution model adequacy using frequentist and Bayesian methods.
In order to have confidence in model-based phylogenetic methods, such as maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian analyses, one must use an appropriate model of molecular evolution identified using statistically rigorous criteria. Although model selection methods such as the likelihood ratio test and Akaike information criterion are widely used in the phylogenetic literature, model selection method...
متن کاملBayesian Stock Assessment Using a Nonlinear State-Space Model
This paper presents a novel Bayesian approach to sheries stock assessment based on biomass dynamics models. These use a time series of annual catch and eeort data to model and forecast the current and future biomass of the stock. We integrate biomass dynamics models into the framework of nonlinear state-space methodology and thus allow for both observation and process error. In contrast to the ...
متن کاملBayesian Model Assessment and Comparison Using Cross-Validation Predictive Densities
In this work, we discuss practical methods for the assessment, comparison, and selection of complex hierarchical Bayesian models. A natural way to assess the goodness of the model is to estimate its future predictive capability by estimating expected utilities. Instead of just making a point estimate, it is important to obtain the distribution of the expected utility estimate because it describ...
