چکیده
where eg,H is the spectral measure associated with g and H , i.e., the finite positive measure on [−1, 1] such that 〈g,H g〉μ = ∫ 1 −1 x eg,H(dx) for all i ∈ N. For nonnegative definite transition 15 kernels H the spectral measure, and the integrals, are over the narrower range [0, 1]. Denote by H2,α the transition kernel of the pseudo-marginal algorithm with proposal kernel q, target marginal distribution μ, and estimator T2,x,α of the unnormalized target. We note that H2,α = αI + (1− α)H2, (2)

Expected value of sample information for Weibull survival data.
Expected value of sample information (EVSI) involves simulating data collection, Bayesian updating, and re-examining decisions. Bayesian updating in Weibull models typically requires Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). We examine five methods for calculating posterior expected net benefits: two heuristic methods (data lumping and pseudo-normal); two Bayesian approximation methods (Tierney & Kadane...
متن کاملEfficient likelihood-free Bayesian Computation for household epidemics
Considerable progress has been made in applying Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to the analysis of epidemic data. However, this likelihood based method can be inefficient due to the limited data available concerning an epidemic outbreak. This paper considers an alternative approach to studying epidemic data using Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) methodology. ABC is a simulation-ba...
متن کاملRetrospective sampling in MCMC with an application to COM-Poisson regression
The normalisation constant in the distribution of a discrete random variable may not be available in closed form; in such cases the calculation of the likelihood can be computationally expensive. Approximations of the likelihood or approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) methods can be used; but the resulting MCMC algorithm may not sample from the target of interest. In certain situations one ca...
متن کاملBayesian ABC-MCMC Classification of Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry Data
Proteomics promises to revolutionize cancer treatment and prevention by facilitating the discovery of molecular biomarkers. Progress has been impeded, however, by the small-sample, high-dimensional nature of proteomic data. We propose the application of a Bayesian approach to address this issue in classification of proteomic profiles generated by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)....
متن کاملOn Russian Roulette Estimates for Bayesian inference with Doubly-Intractable Likelihoods
A large number of statistical models are ‘doubly-intractable’: the likelihood normalising term, which is a function of the model parameters, is intractable, as well as the marginal likelihood (model evidence). This means that standard inference techniques to sample from the posterior, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), cannot be used. Examples include, but are not confined to, massive Gau...
