Exponential Models: Approximations for Probabilities
Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...
متن کاملSimple Binomial Processes as Diffusion Approximations in Financial Models
A binomial approximation to a diffusion is defined as “computationally simple” if the number of nodes grows at most linearly in the number of time intervals. It is shown how to construct computationally simple binomial processes that converge weakly to commonly employed diffusions in financial models. The convergence of the sequence of bond and European option prices from these processes to the...
متن کاملDiffusion Approximations for Ecological Models
Diffusion models are widely used in ecology, and in more general population biology contexts, for predicting population-size distributions and extinction times. They are often used because they are particularly simple to analyse and give rise to explicit formulae for most of the quantities of interest. However, whilst diffusion models are ubiquitous in the literature on population models, their...

متن کاملDesigning Committees of Models through Deliberate Weighting of Data Points
In the adaptive derivation of mathematical models from data, each data point should contribute with a weight reflecting the amount of confidence one has in it. When no additional information for data confidence is available, all the data points should be considered equal, and are also generally given the same weight. In the formation of committees of models, however, this is often not the case ...
