We submitted four systems to the Japanese dictionary-based lexical-sample task of SENSEVAL-2. They were i) the support vector machine method ii) the simple Bayes method, iii) a method combining the two, and iv) a method combining two kinds of each. The combined methods obtained the best precision among the submitted systems. After the contest, we tuned the parameter used in the simple Bayes met...

In genome-enabled prediction, parametric, semi-parametric, and non-parametric regression models have been used. This study assessed the predictive ability of linear and non-linear models using dense molecular markers. The linear models were linear on marker effects and included the Bayesian LASSO, Bayesian ridge regression, Bayes A, and Bayes B. The non-linear models (this refers to non-lineari...

In the class of normal regression models with a finite number of regressors, and for a wide class of prior distributions, a Bayesian model selection procedure based on the Bayes factor is consistent [Casella and Moreno J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 104 (2009) 1261–1271]. However, in models where the number of parameters increases as the sample size increases, properties of the Bayes factor are not t...

Gaussian processes are a class of flexible nonparametric Bayesian tools that widely used across the sciences, and in industry, to model complex data sources. Key applying process models is availability well-developed open source software, which available many programming languages. In this paper, we present tutorial GaussianProcesses.jl package has been developed for Julia language. utilizes in...

background breast cancer (bc) is the most common cancer in iranian women. studying the mortality statistics is important to monitor the effects of screening programs or the influence of earlier diagnosis on the burden of this chronic disease. misclassification is still a problem in the iranian death registry data and about 20% of death statistics are recorded in misclassified categories. object...
