Bayesian hypothesis testing: Editorial to the Special Issue on Bayesian data analysis.

Bayesian hypothesis testing: Editorial to the Special Issue on Bayesian data analysis.

In the past 20 years, there has been a steadily increasing attention and demand for Bayesian data analysis across multiple scientific disciplines, including psychology. Bayesian methods and the related Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling techniques offered renewed ways of handling old and challenging new problems that may be difficult or impossible to handle using classical approaches. Yet, such ...

Bayesian Fuzzy Hypothesis Testing with Imprecise Prior Distribution

This paper considers the testing of fuzzy hypotheses on the basis of a Bayesian approach. For this, using a notion of prior distribution with interval or fuzzy-valued parameters, we extend a concept of posterior probability of a fuzzy hypothesis. Some of its properties are also put into investigation. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods are also cla...

Bayesian Hypothesis Testing 1 Running head: BAYESIAN HYPOTHESIS TESTING The Need for Bayesian Hypothesis Testing in Psychological Science

Guest Editors' Introduction to the Special Issue on Bayesian Nonparametrics

BAYESIAN nonparametric models are probabilistic models defined over infinite-dimensional parameter spaces. For Gaussian process models of regression and classification functions, the parameter space consists of a set of continuous functions. For the Dirichlet process mixture models used in density estimation and clustering, the parameter space is dense in the space of probability measures. Baye...

Editorial: Introduction to the Special Issue on Multimedia Data Mining

M ULTIMEDIA data mining refers to the study and research on the knowledge discovery in a multimedia database. Presumably, multimedia and data mining are two very in-terdisciplinary and multidisciplinary areas with independently and simultaneously rapid developments in recent years. This special issue focuses on the theme of merging multimedia and data mining research together to exploit the syn...
