Bayesian Methods: General Background ?
نویسنده
چکیده
We note the main points of history, as a framework on which to hang many background remarks concerning the nature and motivation of Bayesian/Maximum Entropy methods. Experience has shown that these are needed in order to understand recent work and problems. A more complete account of the history, with many more details and references, is given in Jaynes (1978). The following discussion is essentially nontechnical; the aim is only to convey a little introductory \feel" for our outlook, purpose, and terminology, and to alert newcomers to common pitfalls of misunderstanding.

Inverse Problems in Imaging Systems and the General Bayesian Inversion Frawework
In this paper, first a great number of inverse problems which arise in instrumentation, in computer imaging systems and in computer vision are presented. Then a common general forward modeling for them is given and the corresponding inversion problem is presented. Then, after showing the inadequacy of the classical analytical and least square methods for these ill posed inverse problems, a Baye...
متن کاملEstimating Steatosis Prevalence in Overweight and Obese Children: Comparison of Bayesian Small Area and Direct Methods
Background Often, there is no access to sufficient sample size to estimate the prevalence using the method of direct estimator in all areas. The aim of this study was to compare small area’s Bayesian method and direct method in estimating the prevalence of steatosis in obese and overweight children. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, was conducted on 150 overweight and obese ...
متن کاملE-Bayesian Approach in A Shrinkage Estimation of Parameter of Inverse Rayleigh Distribution under General Entropy Loss Function
Whenever approximate and initial information about the unknown parameter of a distribution is available, the shrinkage estimation method can be used to estimate it. In this paper, first the $ E $-Bayesian estimation of the parameter of inverse Rayleigh distribution under the general entropy loss function is obtained. Then, the shrinkage estimate of the inverse Rayleigh distribution parameter i...

متن کاملA Probabilistic Model for COPD Diagnosis and Phenotyping Using Bayesian Networks
Introduction: This research was meant to provide a model for COPD diagnosis and to classify the cases into phenotypes; General COPD, Chronic bronchitis, Emphysema, and the Asthmatic COPD using a Bayesian Network (BN). Methods: The model was constructed through developing the Bayesian Network structure and instantiating the parameters for each of the variables. In order to validate the achiev...
