A Bayesian Approach to Hardness Ratios for non-Bayesians
Hardness ratios are often used in situations where there may not be enough counts or spectral resolution to model the spectrum of a source using the traditional forwardfolding[Davis(2001)] methodology. In such a case, a statistic formed from the ratio of the counts in one band to another band can serve as a crude characterization of the spectrum. In the low counts regime where this technique mi...
متن کاملBayesian estimation of cost-effectiveness ratios from clinical trials.
Estimation of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) is difficult for several reasons: treatments that decrease both cost and effectiveness and treatments that increase both cost and effectiveness can yield identical values of the ICER; the ICER is a discontinuous function of the mean difference in effectiveness; and the standard estimate of the ICER is a ratio. To address these diffic...
متن کاملBayesian Modeling and Computations in Final Ooer Arbitration
This paper develops a Bayesian model for the analysis of bidding behaviour in nal ooer arbitration. Posterior calculations are obtained using a Markov chain algorithm. An example is considered using salary data from major league baseball.
متن کاملModeling Bayesian Estimation for Deformable Contours
A novel trainable snake model, called EigenSnake, is presented in the Bayesian framework. In the EigenSnake, prior knowledge of a specific object shape, such as that of face outlines and facial features, is derived from a training set of the shape and incorporated into a Bayesian snake model in the form of the prior distribution. Further, a “shape space”, which is constructed on the basis of a ...
متن کاملBayesian Quadrature for Ratios
We describe a novel approach to quadrature for ratios of probabilistic integrals, such as are used to compute posterior probabilities. This approach offers performance superior to Monte Carlo methods by exploiting a Bayesian quadrature framework. We improve upon previous Bayesian quadrature techniques by explicitly modelling the nonnegativity of our integrands, and the correlations that exist b...
