Bayesian inference analysis of ellipsometry data

Bayesian inference analysis of ellipsometry data.

Variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry is a nondestructive technique for accurately determining the thicknesses and refractive indices of thin films. Experimentally, the ellipsometry parameters psi and Delta are measured, and the sample structure is then determined by one of a variety of approaches, depending on the number of unknown variables. The ellipsometry parameters have been inverted ...

Bayesian inference for categorical data analysis

This article surveysBayesianmethods for categorical data analysis, with primary emphasis on contingency table analysis. Early innovations were proposed by Good (1953, 1956, 1965) for smoothing proportions in contingency tables and by Lindley (1964) for inference about odds ratios. These approaches primarily used conjugate beta and Dirichlet priors. Altham (1969, 1971) presented Bayesian analogs...

Bayesian Prediction in Spatial Data Analysis

Bayesian Analysis of Survival Data with Spatial Correlation

Often in practice the data on the mortality of a living unit correlation is due to the location of the observations in the study‎. ‎One of the most important issues in the analysis of survival data with spatial dependence‎, ‎is estimation of the parameters and prediction of the unknown values in known sites based on observations vector‎. ‎In this paper to analyze this type of survival‎, ‎Cox...
