Bayesian models involving Dirichlet process mixtures are at the heart of the modern nonparametric Bayesian movement. Much of the rapid development of these models in the last decade has been a direct result of advances in simulation-based computational methods. Some of the very early work in this area, circa 1988-1991, focused on the use of such nonparametric ideas and models in applications of...

Sampling from a sequence of distributions that change over time is difficult task in MCMC methology. This is, however, an important problem that arises in a range of applications. For instance, the observations may be arriving sequentially in time and one could be interested in performing Bayesian inference in real time. To take full advantage of data, one should update the posterior distributi...

The open source development methodology was seen by many as the development paradigm that would reshape the software industry as it boasted unique and unconventional characteristics that traditional development methodology could not match. However, despite all its potentials, the adoption of open source software at the end-user level remains moderate or at least failed to keep pace with the ini...

HERBAL MEDICINE IS THE USE OF MEDICINAL PLANTS FOR PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF DISEASES: it ranges from traditional and popular medicines of every country to the use of standardized and tritated herbal extracts. Generally cultural rootedness enduring and widespread use in a Traditional Medical System may indicate safety, but not efficacy of treatments, especially in herbal medicine where tradit...

Aim Objective: This study undertaken to assess the role of perioperative nutrition on mortality morbidity who are moderately severely undernourished Indian patients. Methodology: Prospective randomized control study, approved from budget committee research methology ethical ...

Passive constructions are examined cross-linguistically (English, German and Chinese) in an exploration of factors that contribute to their relative acceptability. Passives are universally dispreferred to their active counterparts. We describe a methodology for empirical analysis of factors that modulate differences in acceptability between passive and active variants of the same propositional ...
