A Bayesian semi-parametric model for small area estimation
In public health management there is a need to produce subnational estimates of health outcomes. Often, however, funds are not available to collect samples large enough to produce traditional survey sample estimates for each subnational area. Although parametric hierarchical methods have been successfully used to derive estimates from small samples, there is a concern that the geographic divers...
متن کاملMulti-HDP: A Non Parametric Bayesian Model for Tensor Factorization
Matrix factorization algorithms are frequently used in the machine learning community to find low dimensional representations of data. We introduce a novel generative Bayesian probabilistic model for unsupervised matrix and tensor factorization. The model consists of several interacting LDA models, one for each modality. We describe an efficient collapsed Gibbs sampler for inference. We also de...
متن کاملMobility Prediction Using Non-Parametric Bayesian Model
Predicting the future location of users in wireless networks has numerous important applications, and could in turn help service providers to improve the quality of service perceived by their clients (e.g. by applying smart data prefetching and resource allocation strategies). Many location predictors have been devised over the last decade. The predictors proposed so far estimate the next locat...
متن کاملA Bayesian joint model for population and portfolio-specific mortality
Insurance companies and pension funds must value liabilities using mortality rates that are appropriate for their portfolio. These can only be estimated in a reliable way from a su ciently large historical dataset for such portfolios, which is often not available. We overcome this problem by introducing a model to estimate portfolio-specific mortality simultaneously with population mortality. B...
متن کاملthe estimation of survival function for colon cancer data in tehran using non-parametric bayesian model
background: colon cancer is the third cause of cancer deaths. although colon cancer survival time has increased in recent years, the mortality rate is still high. the cox model is the most common regression model often used in medical research in survival analysis, but most of the time the effect of at least one of the independent factors changes over time, so the model cannot be used. in the c...
