Bayesian Inference for Categorical Data with Misclassification Errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
In epidemiological studies, observed data are often collected subject to misclassification errors. In this paper, we discuss the Bayesian estimation for contingency table with misclassification errors. Employing the exact Bayesian computations to obtain posterior means as estimates, we are faced with computational difficulties. In order to find the posterior distribution, we apply the data augmentation(DA) algorithm to misclassified categorical data.

ANALYSIS OF CATEGORICAL DATA WITH MISCLASSIFICATION ERRORS by CHUN-
Errors in the collection of data are obstacles to analysis because the underlying misclassification mechanism is usually unknown. Many authors have investigated this problem. In this paper, we shall concentrate on the analysis of contingency tables which are subject to misclassification errors. A general misclassification framework for multi-dimensional contingency tables is proposed. Base on t...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach to Account for Misclassification and Overdispersion in Count Data
Count data are subject to considerable sources of what is often referred to as non-sampling error. Errors such as misclassification, measurement error and unmeasured confounding can lead to substantially biased estimators. It is strongly recommended that epidemiologists not only acknowledge these sorts of errors in data, but incorporate sensitivity analyses into part of the total data analysis....
متن کاملCost Analysis of Acceptance Sampling Models Using Dynamic Programming and Bayesian Inference Considering Inspection Errors
Acceptance Sampling models have been widely applied in companies for the inspection and testing the raw material as well as the final products. A number of lots of the items are produced in a day in the industries so it may be impossible to inspect/test each item in a lot. The acceptance sampling models only provide the guarantee for the producer and consumer that the items in the lots are acco...
متن کاملEstimating from cross-sectional categorical data subject to misclassification and double sampling: Moment-based, maximum likelihood and quasi-likelihood approaches
We discuss alternative approaches for estimating from cross-sectional categorical data in the presence of misclassification. Two parameterisations of the misclassification model are reviewed. The first employs misclassification probabilities and leads tomoment-based inference. The second employs calibration probabilities and leads tomaximum likelihood inference. We show that maximum likelihood ...
متن کاملAn improved run-to-run process control scheme for categorical observations with misclassification errors
When product quality characteristics are evaluated and assigned to exclusive categories, measurement errors (misclassification of products) always exist unless a perfect measurement system is used to identify the categories. In run-to-run (R2R) process control, a categorical controller has been developed for process adjustments with categorical variables. However, if process outputs are misclas...
