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 کاملInference for multi-state models from interval-censored data.
Clinical statuses of subjects are often observed at a finite number of visits. This leads to interval-censored observations of times of transition from one state to another. The likelihood can still easily be written in terms of both transition probabilities and transition intensities. In homogeneous Markov models, transition probabilities can be expressed simply in terms of transition intensit...
متن کاملApproximate inference for state-space models
This thesis is concerned with state estimation in partially observed diffusion processes with discrete time observations. This problem can be solved exactly in a Bayesian framework, up to a set of generally intractable stochastic partial differential equations. Numerous approximate inference methods exist to tackle the problem in a practical way. This thesis introduces a novel deterministic app...
متن کاملCausal inference in multi-state models–sickness absence and work for 1145 participants after work rehabilitation
BACKGROUND Multi-state models, as an extension of traditional models in survival analysis, have proved to be a flexible framework for analysing the transitions between various states of sickness absence and work over time. In this paper we study a cohort of work rehabilitation participants and analyse their subsequent sickness absence using Norwegian registry data on sickness benefits. Our aim ...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
