Bayesian Composite Marginal Likelihoods
This paper proposes and discusses the use of composite marginal likelihoods for Bayesian inference. This approach allows one to deal with complex statistical models in the Bayesian framework, when the full likelihood and thus the full posterior distribution is impractical to compute or even analytically unknown. The procedure is based on a suitable calibration of the composite likelihood that y...
متن کاملOptimal design for the Bradley-Terry paired comparison model
Abstract Paired comparisons are a popular tool for questionnaires in psychological marketing research. The quality of the statistical analysis of the responses heavily depends on the design, i.e. the choice of the alternatives in the comparisons. In this paper we show that the structure of locally optimal designs changes substantially with the parameters in the underlying utility. This fact is ...
متن کاملSystemic Testing on Bradley-Terry Model against Nonlinear Ranking Hierarchy
We take a system point of view toward constructing any power or ranking hierarchy onto a society of human or animal players. The most common hierarchy is the linear ranking, which is habitually used in nearly all real-world problems. A stronger version of linear ranking via increasing and unvarying winning potentials, known as Bradley-Terry model, is particularly popular. Only recently non-line...
متن کاملOnline Density Estimation of Bradley-Terry Models
We consider an online density estimation problem for the Bradley-Terry model, where each model parameter defines the probability of a match result between any pair in a set of n teams. The problem is hard because the loss function (i.e., the negative log-likelihood function in our problem setting) is not convex. To avoid the non-convexity, we can change parameters so that the loss function beco...
متن کاملMm Algorithms for Generalized Bradley – Terry Models
The Bradley–Terry model for paired comparisons is a simple and muchstudied means to describe the probabilities of the possible outcomes when individuals are judged against one another in pairs. Among the many studies of the model in the past 75 years, numerous authors have generalized it in several directions, sometimes providing iterative algorithms for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates f...
