Observations From Multi-State Or Counting Process Models
We consider first the mixed discrete-continuous scheme of observation in multi-state models; this is a classical pattern in epidemiology because very often clinical status is assessed at discrete visit times while times of death or other events are observed exactly. A heuristic likelihood can be written for such models, at least for Markov models; however a formal proof is not easy and has not ...
متن کاملf/sla from learner perspectives: a social activity or a cognitive process
in the past couple of decades sociocultural theory of sla and its implications in efl contexts have attracted attentions of research circles worldwide and aroused some controversies. firth and wagner (1997) have questioned the principles of the cognitive view which gives importance to mental constructs in favor of sociocultural view which highlights social and contextual constructs. but if soci...
15 صفحه اولLikelihood for interval-censored observations from multi-state models
We consider the mixed dicrete-continuous pattern of observation in a multi-state model; this is a classical pattern because very often clinical status is assessed at discrete visit times while time of death is observed exactly. The likelihood can easily be written heuristically for such models. However a formal proof is not easy in such observational patterns. We give a rigorous derivation of t...
متن کاملEigenstructure of Maximum Likelihood from Counting Data
The MLE (Maximum Likelihood Estimate) for a multinomial model is proportional to the data. We call such estimate an eigenestimate and the relationship of it to the data as the eigenstructure. When the multinomial model is generalized to deal with data arise from incomplete or censored categorical counts, we would naturally look for this eigenstructure between MLE and data. The paper finds the a...
متن کاملMarginal Likelihood and Bayes Factors for Dirichlet Process Mixture Models
We present a method for comparing semiparametric Bayesian models, constructed under the Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) framework, with alternative semiparameteric or parameteric Bayesian models. A distinctive feature of the method is that it can be applied to semiparametric models containing covariates and hierarchical prior structures, and is apparently the rst method of its kind. Formally,...
