An empirical Bayes analysis of life-time data is described. The paper examines and extends the model discussed by Kalbfleisch (1978) in which the cumulative hazard function is treated as a gamma ...

In genetic analysis, there are often competing explanations for the same data. Sophisticated mathematical models have been developed that can encapsulate these problems in terms of parameters that ...

Functional safety engineers follow the ISA/IEC 61511 standard and perform calculations based on random hardware failures. These result in very low failure probabilities, which are then combined with ...

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series A (Statistics in Society), Vol. 180, No. 4 (OCTOBER 2017), pp. 1191-1209 (19 pages) Area level models, such as the Fay–Herriot model, aim to improve ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American I’m not sure when I first heard of Bayes’ ...

What’s often misunderstood about Google’s incrementality testing and how Bayesian models use probability to guide better ...

(UPDATED) A statistical deep dive into the EXCEL trial, one that also includes evidence from other revascularization studies in the setting of left main coronary artery disease, shows that there is ...

A research team introduces a hierarchical Bayesian spatial approach that integrates UAV and terrestrial LiDAR data to ...
