Manipulating and summarizing posterior simulations using random variable objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Practical Bayesian data analysis involves manipulating and summarizing simulations from the posterior distribution of the unknown parameters. By manipulation we mean computing posterior distributions of functions of the unknowns, and generating posterior predictive distributions. The results need to be summarized both numerically and

Using Random Variables to Manipulate and Summarize Simulations in R
A fully Bayesian computing environment calls for the possibility of defining vector and array objects that may contain both random and deterministic quantities, and syntax rules that allow treating these objects much like any variables or numeric arrays. Working within the statistical package R, we introduce a new object-oriented framework based on a new random variable data type that is implic...

متن کاملGhost Image Mapping of Palatal Bone of Maxilla and Nasal Cavity in Panoramic View Using Cranex D Digital Machine
Introdouction: The mapping of ghost images of the maxilla and the nasal cavity, which are complex structures, is very important. The position of objects that create a ghost image can differ when using various devices. The purpose of this investigation was to study the mapping of ghost images of the maxilla and the nasal cavity using a Cranex D digital panoramic machine. Materials and methods: ...
متن کاملBayesian Quantile Regression with Adaptive Lasso Penalty for Dynamic Panel Data
Dynamic panel data models include the important part of medicine, social and economic studies. Existence of the lagged dependent variable as an explanatory variable is a sensible trait of these models. The estimation problem of these models arises from the correlation between the lagged depended variable and the current disturbance. Recently, quantile regression to analyze dynamic pa...
متن کاملThèse de doctorat DOMAINE : STIC Spécialité : Traitement du Signal
This thesis addresses the challenges encountered when dealing with signal decomposition problems with an unknown number of components in a Bayesian framework. Particularly, we focus on the issue of summarizing the variable-dimensional posterior distributions that typically arise in such problems. Such posterior distributions are defined over union of subspaces of differing dimensionality, and c...
