Wheeler WC and Pickett KM (2008. Topology-Bayes versus clade-Bayes in phylogenetic analysis. Mol Biol Evol. 25:447–453.) discuss two ways of summarizing the posterior probability distribution of a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, which they refer to as ‘‘topology-Bayes’’ and ‘‘clade-Bayes.’’ They claim that the clade-Bayes approach leads to problems such as ‘‘exaggerated clade support, inconsist...

In many areas of epidemiologic, demographic and geographical research, inference based on hierarchical spatial regression models is popular and important; for example, in disease mapping, environmental and health monitoring studies. Several estimation and inferential procedures have been proposed for these models, utilizing a variety of methods such as estimating equations, empirical Bayes and ...

One-class Bayes learning such as one-class Naïve Bayes and one-class Bayesian Network employs Bayes learning to build a classifier on the positive class only for discriminating the positive class and the negative class. It has been applied to anomaly detection for identifying abnormal behaviors that deviate from normal behaviors. Because one-class Bayes classifiers can produce probability score...
