Bayesian Nonparametric Weighted Sampling Inference
It has historically been a challenge to perform Bayesian inference in a design-based survey context. The present paper develops a Bayesian model for sampling inference in the presence of inverse-probability weights. We use a hierarchical approach in which we model the distribution of the weights of the nonsampled units in the population and simultaneously include them as predictors in a nonpara...
متن کاملApproximating Bayesian inference by weighted likelihood
The author proposes to use weighted likelihood to approximate Bayesian inference when no external or prior information is available. He proposes a weighted likelihood estimator that minimizes the empirical Bayes risk under relative entropy loss. He discusses connections among the weighted likelihood, empirical Bayes and James–Stein estimators. Both simulated and real data sets are used for illu...
متن کاملPerforming Bayesian Inference by Weighted Model Counting
Over the past decade general satisfiability testing algorithms have proven to be surprisingly effective at solving a wide variety of constraint satisfaction problem, such as planning and scheduling (Kautz and Selman 2003). Solving such NPcomplete tasks by “compilation to SAT” has turned out to be an approach that is of both practical and theoretical interest. Recently, (Sang et al. 2004) have s...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric and Parametric Inference
This paper reviews Bayesian Nonparametric methods and discusses how parametric predictive densities can be constructed using nonparametric ideas.
متن کاملInference of genetic marker concentrations from field surveys to detect environmental DNA using Bayesian updating
Field studies to detect environmental DNA (eDNA) can be undertaken to infer the presence of a rare or cryptic species in a water body. These studies are implemented by collecting water samples from the water body, processing those samples to isolate genetic material contained in the water sample, and using a laboratory assay to find a species-specific genetic marker within a sample of the genet...
