Bayesian methods in hydrology: a review.

David Ríos Insua, Raquel Montes Díez, Jesús Palomo Martínez (2002)

RACSAM

Similarity:

Hydrology and water resources management are inherently affected by uncertainty in many of their involved processes, including inflows, rainfall, water demand, evaporation, etc. Statistics plays, therefore, an essential role in their study. We review here some recent advances within Bayesian statistics and decision analysis which will have a profound impact in these fields.

Bayesian reliability analysis when multiple early failures may be present.

Samir K. Bhattacharya, Ravinder K. Tyagi (1991)

Trabajos de Estadística

Similarity:

This paper discusses the Bayesian reliability analysis for an exponential failure mode on the basis of some ordered observations when the first p observations may represent early failures or outliers. The Bayes estimators of the mean life and reliability are obtained for the underlying parametric model referred to as the SB(p) model under the assumption of the squared error loss function, the inverted gamma prior for scale parameter and a generalized uniform prior for the nuisance parameter. ...

A Bayesian Spatial Mixture Model for FMRI Analysis

Geliazkova, Maya (2010)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

We develop, implement and study a new Bayesian spatial mixture model (BSMM). The proposed BSMM allows for spatial structure in the binary activation indicators through a latent thresholded Gaussian Markov random field. We develop a Gibbs (MCMC) sampler to perform posterior inference on the model parameters, which then allows us to assess the posterior probabilities of activation for each voxel. One purpose of this article is to compare the HJ model and the BSMM in terms of receiver operating characteristics...

Bayesian inference in applied statistics.

Arthur P. Dempster (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

The task of assessing posterior distributions from noisy empirical data imposes difficult requirements of modelling, computing and assessing sensitivity to model choice. Seasonal analysis of economic time series is used to illustrate ways of approaching such difficulties.

A Bayesian look at nuisance parameters.

A. Philip Dawid (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

The elimination of nuisance parameters has classically been tackled by various ad hoc devices, and has led to a number of attemps to define partial sufficiency and ancillarity. The Bayesian approach is clearly defined. This paper examines some classical procedures in order to see when they can be given a Bayesian justification.

Sensitivity to models: Discussion.

William F. Eddy, Anthony O'Hagan, José M. Bernardo, Philip J. Brown, A. Philip Dawid, James M. Dickey, Irving John Good, Adrian F. M. Smith (1980)

Similarity:

Discussion on the papers by Freeman, Peter R., On the number of outliers in data from a linear model and by Box, George E. P., Sampling inference, Bayes' inference and robustness in the advancement of learning, both of them part of a round table on Sensitivity to models held in the First International Congress on Bayesian Methods (Valencia, Spain, 28 May - 2 June 1979).
