Bayesian approach to inference of population structure
Methods of inferring the population structure, its applications in identifying disease models as well as foresighting the physical and mental situation of human beings have been finding ever-increasing importance. In this article, first, motivation and significance of studying the problem of population structure is explained. In the next section, the applications of inference of p...
متن کاملA pseudo-Bayesian shrinkage approach to regression with missing covariates.
We consider the linear regression of outcome Y on regressors W and Z with some values of W missing, when our main interest is the effect of Z on Y, controlling for W. Three common approaches to regression with missing covariates are (i) complete-case analysis (CC), which discards the incomplete cases, and (ii) ignorable likelihood methods, which base inference on the likelihood based on the obs...
متن کاملA BAYESIAN APPROACH TO COMPUTING MISSING REGRESSOR VALUES
In this article, Lindley's measure of average information is used to measure the information contained in incomplete observations on the vector of unknown regression coefficients [9]. This measure of information may be used to compute the missing regressor values.
متن کاملSome Bayesian methods for two auditing problems
SUMMARY Two problems of interest to auditors are i) finding an upper bound for the total amount of overstatement of assets in a set of accounts; and ii) estimating the amount of sales tax owed on a collection of transactions. For the first problem the Stringer bound has often been used despite the fact that in many cases it is known to be much too large. Here we will introduce a family of stepw...
متن کاملA Bayesian Method for Auditing Elections
We propose an approach to post-election auditing based on Bayesian principles, and give experimental evidence for its efficiency and effectiveness. We call such an audit a “Bayes audit”. It aims to control the probability of miscertification (certifying a wrong election outcome). The miscertification probability is computed using a Bayesian model based on information gathered by the audit so fa...
