A Bayesian approach to the analysis of quantal bioassay studies using nonparametric mixture models.
We develop a Bayesian nonparametric mixture modeling framework for quantal bioassay settings. The approach is built upon modeling dose-dependent response distributions. We adopt a structured nonparametric prior mixture model, which induces a monotonicity restriction for the dose-response curve. Particular emphasis is placed on the key risk assessment goal of calibration for the dose level that ...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
15 صفحه اولStudies of Neurological Transmission Analysis using Hierarchical Bayesian Mixture Models
Hierarchically structured mixture models are studied in the context of data analysis and inference on neural synaptic transmission characteristics in mammalian, and other, central nervous systems. Mixture structures arise due to uncertainties about the stochastic mechanisms governing the responses to electro-chemical stimulation of individual neurotransmitter release sites at nerve junctions. M...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Bioassay Estimation
Estimation of unknown pesticide levels in experimental samples is an important aspect of many agricultural and environmental studies. Such measurements are often made utilizing a “standard” dose response curve. This methodology compares the biological response of a target organism at known dosages to the response of the same organism exposed to an unknown sample. These “bioassays” are typically...
