Critique of Bayesian inferenceDecision theoryHorwitz–Thompson estimatorWasserman''s example62Axx94A2062D05An example was given in the textbook All of Statistics (Wasserman, 2004, pp. 186188) for arguing that, in the problems with a great many parameters Bayesian inferences are weak, because they ...
Bayesian inference has been widely applied in computational biology field. In certain systems for which we have a good understanding, i.e., gene regulation, behind the observed signals, there exist multiple hidden factors controlling how genes behave under a specific condition. As we are lacking ...
2.1 Bayesian inference The Bayesian inference method is a widely used approach to solving seismic statistical inverse problems. Unlike deterministic approaches that seek the best data-fit model, the Bayesian inference method aims at a comprehensive statistical description of the unknown parameters. For th...
If you think about Examples9.1and9.2carefully, you will notice that they have similar structures. Basically, in both problems, our goal is to draw an inference about the value of an unobserved random variable (ΘΘorXnXn). We observe some data (DDorYnYn). We then use Bayes' rule to make...
As demonstrated in part I of this series, Bayesian inference unlocks a series of advantages that remain unavailable to researchers who continue to rely solely on classical inference (Wagenmakers et al.2017). For example, Bayesian inference allows researchers to update knowledge, to draw conclusions ...
Bayesian model averaging has been extremely successful in accounting for model uncertainly in inference problems, and has great potential for use in Bayesian experimental design for constructing more robust designs.

The problem of estimating the effect of a member rewards program is just one example of many business problems that can be addressed using causal analysis. Consider the following scenarios: Pricing Strategy: A company wants to determine the impact of a price change on sales volume. Causal ...
If only a small set of genes (≪ p) are responsible for differences in disease groups, then reliable inference may often be performed even when n ≪ p. Example approaches that have taken this viewpoint are lasso [2], the elastic net [3], and related Bayesian approaches [4]. In ...
However, the Bayesian outlook toward inference is founded on the subjective interpretation of probability. Subjective probability is a way of stating our belief in the validity of a random event. The following example will illustrate the idea. Suppose we are interested in the proportion of all ...
