Fully Bayesian Experimental Design for Pharmacokinetic Studies
Utility functions in Bayesian experimental design are usually based on the posterior distribution. When the posterior is found by simulation, it must be sampled from for each future dataset drawn from the prior predictive distribution. Many thousands of posterior distributions are often required. A popular technique in the Bayesian experimental design literature, which rapidly obtains samples f...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملSimulation-based optimal Bayesian experimental design for nonlinear systems
The optimal selection of experimental conditions is essential to maximizing the value of data for inference and prediction, particularly in situations where experiments are time-consuming and expensive to conduct. We propose a general mathematical framework and an algorithmic approach for optimal experimental design with nonlinear simulation-based models; in particular, we focus on finding sets...
متن کاملFully probabilistic design of hierarchical Bayesian models
The minimum cross-entropy principle is an established technique for design of an unknown distribution, processing linear functional constraints on the distribution. More generally, fully probabilistic design (FPD) chooses the distribution—within the knowledgeconstrained set of possible distributions—for which the Kullback-Leibler divergence to the designer’s ideal distribution is minimized. The...
متن کاملBayesian Mixed-Effects Models for Recommender Systems
We propose a Bayesian methodology for recommender systems that incorporates user ratings, user features, and item features in a single unified framework. In principle our approach should address the cold-start issue and can address both scalability issues as well as sparse ratings. However, our early experiments have shown mixed results.
