An Appraisal of Bayesian Melding for Physical-Statistical Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this technical report, we review the Bayesian melding model, proposed by Fuentes and Raftery (2005). We give technical details about using Gibbs sampling algorithm to fit the model and critically assess the model through various simulation studies and applications of combing ozone measurements with simulated ozone levels from deterministic model AQM. keywords: Bayesian melding, Bayesian hierarchical model, deterministic model, MCMC, non-stationary spatial process.

Bayesian Melding of Deterministic Models and Kriging for Analysis of Spatially Dependent Data
The link between geographic information systems and decision making approach own the invention and development of spatial data melding method. These methods combine different data sets, to achieve better results. In this paper, the Bayesian melding method for combining the measurements and outputs of deterministic models and kriging are considered. Then the ozone data in Tehran city are analyze...
متن کاملBayesian Sample Size Determination for Joint Modeling of Longitudinal Measurements and Survival Data
A longitudinal study refers to collection of a response variable and possibly some explanatory variables at multiple follow-up times. In many clinical studies with longitudinal measurements, the response variable, for each patient is collected as long as an event of interest, which considered as clinical end point, occurs. Joint modeling of continuous longitudinal measurements and survival time...
متن کاملLatent Bayesian melding for integrating individual and population models
In many statistical problems, a more coarse-grained model may be suitable for population-level behaviour, whereas a more detailed model is appropriate for accurate modelling of individual behaviour. This raises the question of how to integrate both types of models. Methods such as posterior regularization follow the idea of generalized moment matching, in that they allow matching expectations b...
متن کاملProcess-based Bayesian Melding of Occupational Exposure Models and Industrial Workplace Data
In industrial hygiene a worker’s exposure to chemical, physical and biological agents is increasingly being modeled using deterministic physical models. However, predicting exposure in real workplace settings is challenging and approaches that simply regress on a physical model (e.g. straightforward non-linear regression) are less effective as they do not account for biases attributable, at lea...

Background and Aim: Health surveillance systems are now paying more attention to infectious diseases, largely because of emerging and re-emerging infections. The main objective of this research is presenting a statistical method for modeling infectious disease incidence based on the Bayesian approach.Material and Methods: Since infectious diseases have two phases, namely epidemic and non-epidem...
