Practical Challenges in Bayesian Modeling and Elicitation of Probabilistic Information
In laboratories and industry, process information exists in a variety of ways. It may come from the specification of instruments, process operation conditions, expert knowledge etc. Such information is valuable for improving the quality of models, especially when data sets are high dimensional and with heterogeneous distributions and measurement noise. Traditional modeling methods, such as PCR,...
متن کاملPrior Elicitation, Assessment and Inference with a Dirichlet Prior
Methods are developed for eliciting a Dirichlet prior based upon stating bounds on the individual probabilities that hold with high prior probability. This approach to selecting a prior is applied to a contingency table problem where it is demonstrated how to assess the prior with respect to the bias it induces as well as how to check for prior-data conflict. It is shown that the assessment of ...
متن کاملPower Prior Elicitation in Bayesian Quantile Regression
We address a quantile dependent prior for Bayesian quantile regression. We extend the idea of the power prior distribution in Bayesian quantile regression by employing the likelihood function that is based on a location-scale mixture representation of the asymmetric Laplace distribution. The propriety of the power prior is one of the critical issues in Bayesian analysis. Thus, we discuss the pr...
متن کاملPrior Elicitation in Multiple Change-point Models
This paper discusses Bayesian inference in change-point models. Existing approaches involve placing a (possibly hierarchical) prior over a known number of change-points. We show how two popular priors have some potentially undesirable properties (e.g. allocating excessive prior weight to change-points near the end of the sample) and discuss how these properties relate to imposing a fixed number...
متن کاملMeasures of Potential Flexibility and Practical Flexibility in Equation Solving
Researchers interested in mathematical proficiency have recently begun to explore the development of strategic flexibility, where flexibility is defined as knowledge of multiple strategies for solving a problem and the ability to implement an innovative strategy for a given problem solving circumstance. However, anecdotal findings from this literature indicate that students do not consistently ...
