A Bayesian nonparametric meta-analysis model.
In a meta-analysis, it is important to specify a model that adequately describes the effect-size distribution of the underlying population of studies. The conventional normal fixed-effect and normal random-effects models assume a normal effect-size population distribution, conditionally on parameters and covariates. For estimating the mean overall effect size, such models may be adequate, but f...
متن کاملA Bayesian nonparametric causal model
Typically, in the practice of causal inference from observational studies, a parametric model is assumed for the joint population density of potential outcomes and treatment assignments, and possibly this is accompanied by the assumption of no hidden bias. However, both assumptions are questionable for real data, the accuracy of causal inference is compromised when the data violates either assu...
متن کاملA time dependent Bayesian nonparametric model for air quality analysis
Air quality monitoring is based on pollutants concentration levels, typically recorded in metropolitan areas. These exhibit spatial and temporal dependence as well as seasonality trends, and their analysis demands flexible and robust statistical models. Here we propose to model the measurements of particulate matter, composed by atmospheric carcinogenic agents, by means of a Bayesian nonparamet...
متن کاملNonparametric Bayesian Data Analysis
We review the current state of nonparametric Bayesian inference. The discussion follows a list of important statistical inference problems, including density estimation, regression, survival analysis, hierarchical models and model validation. For each inference problem we review relevant nonparametric Bayesian models and approaches including Dirichlet process (DP) models and variations, Polya t...
