Abstract. MAP estimators and HPD credible sets are often criticized in the literature because of paradoxical behaviour due to a lack of invariance under reparametrization. In this paper, we propose a new version of MAP estimators and HPD credible sets that avoid this undesirable feature. Moreover, in the special case of non-informative prior, the new MAP estimators coincide with the invariant f...

Prediction accuracy of pharmacokinetic parameters is often assessed using prediction fold error, i.e., being within 2-, 3-, or n-fold of observed values. However, published studies disagree on which fold error represents an accurate prediction. In addition, "observed data" from only one clinical study are often used as the gold standard for in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) studies, des...

I propose a theory of the passive that combines aspects of the principles and parameters analysis (no specific rules, no downward movement) and Chomsky’s (1957) Syntactic Structures analysis (the arguments in the passive are generated in the same positions as they are in the active).
