Comment on Article by Gates
I congratulate Jerry Gates on a lucid and important discussion of the role of privacy and confidentiality in sharing government data. He makes a strong case that increased and easier data sharing would improve the collection, estimation, and dissemination of federal data—which in turn would lead to better research and public policy—and that confidentiality concerns raise barriers to realizing t...
متن کاملComment on Article by Scutari
Hao Wang ̊ Scutari’s paper studies properties of the distribution of graphs ppGq. This is an interesting angle because it differs from many works that focus on distributions over parameter spaces for a given graph ppΘ | Gq. The paper’s investigation of ppGq centers around its implied covariance matrix Σ “ CovpGq. The major theoretical results, as I see it, concern eigenvalues of Σ as well as var...
متن کاملComment on Article by Polson and Scott
We congratulate the authors for a very interesting article. The key contribution of this paper, as we see it and as suggested in the title, is the introduction of latent parameters to carry out Bayesian analysis with support vector machines. The basic identities (4) and (6) are particularly useful in this regard, which enable one to overcome much of the complexities of a non smooth loss resulti...
متن کاملComment on Article by Monni and Tadesse
The subsection entitled Performance in the presence of high collinearity on page 15 starts with the sentence “It is reasonable to assume that the presence of highly correlated covariates may complicate the identification of relevant predictors.” Two new covariates, which are linear combinations of existing covariates, are then added to simulated data which had N = 50 samples and p = 200 covaria...
متن کاملSome Perspectives on Modeling Species Distributions (Comment on article by Gelfand et al.)
While this paper deals with the scientific problem of species richness and diversity, the authors should also be complimented for the richness and diversity of their statistical results. This paper should be assigned reading for graduate students in statistics, as an example of the range of results that can be examined via a Bayesian analysis. Similarly, students of ecology should read this pap...
