Review of Autism Screening Tests
Background: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that onset in the first 3 years of life and led to lifelong disability.Despite the early onset of symptoms, diagnosis of thissyndromedoes not happenuntil severalyears later, somany childrenlosethe opportunityfor earlyintervention.There arevarious toolsforscreening anddiagnosis, buttheirdesign, strengths and weaknesses aredifferent. The aim of ...
متن کاملBayes Theorem for Improper Priors
Improper priors are used frequently, but often formally and without reference to a sound theoretical basis. A consequence is the occurrence of seemingly paradoxical results. The most famous example is perhaps given by the marginalization paradoxes presented by Stone and Dawid (1972). It is demonstrated here that the seemingly paradoxical results are removed by a more careful formulation of the ...
متن کاملBayesian Posteriors Without Bayes' Theorem
The classical Bayesian posterior arises naturally as the unique solution of several different optimization problems, without the necessity of interpreting data as conditional probabilities and then using Bayes' Theorem. For example, the classical Bayesian posterior is the unique posterior that minimizes the loss of Shannon information in combining the prior and the likelihood distributions. The...
متن کاملBayes' Theorem for Choquet Capacities
We give an upper bound for the posterior probability of a measurable set A when the prior lies in a class of probability measures 9. The bound is a rational function of two Choquet integrals. If g; is weakly compact and is closed with respect to majorization, then the bound is sharp if and only if the upper prior probability is 2-alternating. The result is used to compute-bounds for several set...
متن کاملQuantitative Counting with Bayes Theorem
Given a dataset generated by various processes, an estimate of the quantity of data points associated with each generation process can be achieved using a probabilistic count of evidence using Bayes Theorem. However, the usefulness of these counts is limited by the presence of uncertainties stemming from the determination of quantities using maximum likelihood and the imprecision of density est...
