Bayesian robustness for decision making problems: Applications in medical contexts
Practical implementation of Bayesian decision making is hindered by the fact that optimal decisions may be sensitive to the model inputs: the prior, the likelihood and/or the underlying utility function. Given the structure of a problem, the analyst has to decide which sensitivity measures are relevant and compute them efficiently. We address the issue of robustness of the optimal action in a d...
متن کاملRobustness of Numerical Representations
Memory devices are used as storage for integers and rational numbers in various binary representations such as one’s complement, two’s complement, and floating-point. In theory, these devices should be able to store numbers accurately, but manufacturing variations and environmental noise can inadvertently cause bitwise errors in the form of flipped or stuck bits. As transistors and other semico...

This paper surveys techniques for calculating eigenvalues and eigenvectors of very large matrices.
متن کاملNonparametric Bayesian robustness
A new, nonparametric, approach to Bayesian robustness is presented. Whereas many studies in Bayesian robustness have dealt with a parametric sampling distribution, considering classes of prior distributions on the parameters, here we assume that the sampling distribution comes from a Dirichlet process with a parameter η = βα, with β > 0 and α being a probability measure, specified with uncertai...
متن کاملProbabilistic Numerical Methods for PDE-constrained Bayesian Inverse Problems
This paper develops meshless methods for probabilistically describing discretisation error in the numerical solution of partial differential equations. This construction enables the solution of Bayesian inverse problems while accounting for the impact of the discretisation of the forward problem. In particular, this drives statistical inferences to be more conservative in the presence of signif...
