Joint Bayesian analysis of birthweight and censored gestational age using finite mixture models.
Birthweight and gestational age are closely related and represent important indicators of a healthy pregnancy. Customary modeling for birthweight is conditional on gestational age. However, joint modeling directly addresses the relationship between gestational age and birthweight, and provides increased flexibility and interpretation as well as a strategy to avoid using gestational age as an in...
متن کاملA two-component Bayesian mixture model to identify implausible gestational age
Background: Birth weight and gestational age are two important variables in obstetric research. The primary measure of gestational age is based on a mother’s recall of her last menstrual period. This recall may cause random or systematic errors. Therefore, the objective of this study is to utilize Bayesian mixture model in order to identify implausible gestational age. Methods: ...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Gaussian Mixture Models, Explicit Bayesian Estimation and Wiener Filtering
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) of power spectral densities of speech and noise are used with explicit Bayesian estimations in Wiener filtering of noisy speech. No assumption is made on the nature or stationarity of the noise. No voice activity detection (VAD) or any other means is employed to estimate the input SNR. The GMM mean vectors are used to form sets of over-determined system of equatio...
متن کاملStudies of Neurological Transmission Analysis using Hierarchical Bayesian Mixture Models
Hierarchically structured mixture models are studied in the context of data analysis and inference on neural synaptic transmission characteristics in mammalian, and other, central nervous systems. Mixture structures arise due to uncertainties about the stochastic mechanisms governing the responses to electro-chemical stimulation of individual neurotransmitter release sites at nerve junctions. M...
متن کاملBayesian analysis of doubly censored lifetime data using two- component mixture of Weibull distribution
In recent years analysis of the mixture models under Bayesian framework has received considerable attention. However, the Bayesian estimation of the mixture models under doubly censored samples has not yet been reported. This paper proposes a Bayesian estimation procedure for analyzing lifetime data under doubly censored sampling when the failure times belong to a two-component mixture of the W...
