Posterior predictive Bayesian phylogenetic model selection.
We present two distinctly different posterior predictive approaches to Bayesian phylogenetic model selection and illustrate these methods using examples from green algal protein-coding cpDNA sequences and flowering plant rDNA sequences. The Gelfand-Ghosh (GG) approach allows dissection of an overall measure of model fit into components due to posterior predictive variance (GGp) and goodness-of-...
متن کاملthe use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach
abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
15 صفحه اولApplication of a predictive distribution formula to Bayesian computation for incomplete data models
We consider exact and approximate Bayesian computation in the presence of latent variables or missing data. Specifically we explore the application of a posterior predictive distribution formula derived in Sweeting & Kharroubi (2003), which is a particular form of Laplace approximation, both as an importance and a proposal distribution. We show that this formula provides a stable importance fun...
متن کاملModel selection in incomplete data
Model selection in complete data is a common task for the applied researcher. However, in many scenarios data are incomplete which further complicates the task of model selection. In this talk, we will specify the problem of model selection in incomplete data and discuss several possible solutions using multiple imputation. First, we will define a new general measure for the correct model selec...
متن کاملPredictive Alternatives in Bayesian Model Selection
Predictive Alternatives in Bayesian Model Selection by Womack, Andrew Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics, Washington University in St. Louis, May, 2011. Professor Jeff Gill, Chairperson Model comparison and hypothesis testing is an integral part of all data analyses. In this thesis, I present two new families of information criteria that can be used to perform model comparison. In Chapter 1, I...
