Bayesian change point estimation in Poisson-based control charts
Precise identification of the time when a process has changed enables process engineers to search for a potential special cause more effectively. In this paper, we develop change point estimation methods for a Poisson process in a Bayesian framework. We apply Bayesian hierarchical models to formulate the change point where there exists a step < /div> change, a linear trend and a known multip...
متن کاملPractical issues in implementing software reliability measurement
• More accurately focus scarce fault identification resources on those portions of a software system most in need of it. • Estimate and forecast the risk of exposure to residual faults in a software system during operation, and develop risk and safety criteria to guide the release of a software system to fielded use. • Estimate the efficiency of test suites in detecting residual faults. • Estim...
متن کاملTowards Practical Bayesian Parameter and State Estimation
Joint state and parameter estimation is a core problem for dynamic Bayesian networks. Although modern probabilistic inference toolkits make it relatively easy to specify large and practically relevant probabilistic models, the silver bullet—an efficient and general online inference algorithm for such problems—remains elusive, forcing users to write special-purpose code for each application. We ...
متن کاملConceptual issues in Bayesian divergence time estimation.
Bayesian inference of species divergence times is an unusual statistical problem, because the divergence time parameters are not identifiable unless both fossil calibrations and sequence data are available. Commonly used marginal priors on divergence times derived from fossil calibrations may conflict with node order on the phylogenetic tree causing a change in the prior on divergence times for...
متن کاملBirds of the Same Feather Tweet Together. Bayesian Ideal Point Estimation Using Twitter Data
Politicians and citizens increasingly engage in political conversations on social media outlets such as Twitter. In this paper I show that the structure of the social networks in which they are embedded can be a source of information about their ideological positions. Under the assumption that social networks are homophilic, I develop a Bayesian Spatial Following model that considers ideology a...
