Bayesian statistics represents a powerful framework for data analysis that centres on Bayes’ theorem, enabling researchers to update existing beliefs with incoming evidence. By combining prior ...

In my practice, I find most people involved with advanced analytics, such as predictive, data science, and ML, are familiar with the name Bayes, and can even reproduce the simple theorem below. Still, ...

Articulate the primary interpretations of probability theory and the role these interpretations play in Bayesian inference Use Bayesian inference to solve real-world statistics and data science ...

This paper concerns the use of empirical Bayes methods to improve the efficiency of a parameter of interest, θ, in the presence of many nuisance parameters, {φi}, one from each data stratum. A class ...

The parametric bootstrap can be used for the efficient computation of Bayes posterior distributions. Importance sampling formulas take on an easy form relating to the deviance in exponential families ...

I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. ~ Hal The Bayesians want us to be Bayesians (e.g, Krueger, 2017). This is just as ...
