Loss Function Based Ranking in Two-Stage, Hierarchical Models.
Performance evaluations of health services providers burgeons. Similarly, analyzing spatially related health information, ranking teachers and schools, and identification of differentially expressed genes are increasing in prevalence and importance. Goals include valid and efficient ranking of units for profiling and league tables, identification of excellent and poor performers, the most diffe...
متن کاملClassification Loss Function for Parameter Ensembles in Bayesian Hierarchical Models
Parameter ensembles or sets of point estimates constitute one of the cornerstones of modern statistical practice. This is especially the case in Bayesian hierarchical models, where different decision-theoretic frameworks can be deployed to summarize such parameter ensembles. The estimation of these parameter ensembles may thus substantially vary depending on which inferential goals are prioriti...
متن کاملTwo-stage estimation using copula function
Maximum likelihood estimation of multivariate distributions needs solving a optimization problem with large dimentions (to the number of unknown parameters) but two- stage estimation divides this problem to several simple optimizations. It saves significant amount of computational time. Two methods are investigated for estimation consistency check. We revisit Sankaran and Nair's bivari...
متن کاملAlternative Methods for Fitting Two-Stage Hierarchical Bayesian Models
Although it is common practice to fit a complex Bayesian model using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, we provide an alternative sampling-based method to fit a two-stage hierarchical model in which there is conjugacy conditional on the parameters in the second stage. Using the sampling/importance resampling (SIR) algorithm, our method subsamples independent samples from an approximate jo...
متن کاملA two-stage model for ranking DMUs using DEA/AHP
In this paper, we present a two-stage model for ranking of decision making units (DMUs) using interval analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to the efficient units, we evaluate the efficiency of each DMU by basic DEA models and calculate the weights of the criteria using proposed model. In the first stage, the proposed model evaluates decision making...
