Bayesian Calibration of Complex Computer Models
We consider prediction and uncertainty analysis for systems which are approximated using complex mathematical codes. Such models, implemented as computer codes, are often generic in the sense that by suitable choice of some of the model's input parameters the code can be used to predict behaviour of the system in a variety of speciic applications. However, in any speciic application the values ...
متن کاملBayesian Calibration of Microsimulation Models.
Microsimulation models that describe disease processes synthesize information from multiple sources and can be used to estimate the effects of screening and treatment on cancer incidence and mortality at a population level. These models are characterized by simulation of individual event histories for an idealized population of interest. Microsimulation models are complex and invariably include...
متن کاملEstimation of HIV burden through Bayesian evidence synthesis
Planning, implementation and evaluation of public health policies to control the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic require regular monitoring of disease burden. This includes the proportion living with HIV, whether diagnosed or not, and the rate of new infections in the general population and in specific risk groups and regions. Estimation of these quantities is not straightforward: d...
متن کاملBayesian calibration for forensic evidence reporting
We introduce a Bayesian solution for the problem in forensic speaker recognition, where there may be very little background material for estimating score calibration parameters. We work within the Bayesian paradigm of evidence reporting and develop a principled probabilistic treatment of the problem, which results in a Bayesian likelihood-ratio as the vehicle for reporting weight of evidence. W...
متن کاملHybrid Bayesian M-Estimation and Its Application in Calibration and Tuning for Complex Computer Models
Complex computer simulation is critical in biomedical research fields, e.g., the design of prosthetic devices. Tuning and calibration are processes for improving the representativeness of a computer simulation code to a physical phenomenon, which is the key to the success of a computer simulator. In this talk I will introduce a statistical methodology for simultaneously determining tuning and c...
