A Spatially Varying Hierarchical Random Effects Model for Longitudinal Macular Structural Data in Glaucoma Patients
Erica Su, Robert E. Weiss, Kouros Nouri-Mahdavi +1
We model longitudinal macular thickness measurements to monitor the course of glaucoma and prevent vision loss due to disease progression. The macular thickness varies over a 6$\ti…
A Bayesian Dirichlet Auto-Regressive Moving Average Model for Forecasting Lead Times
Harrison Katz, Kai Brusch, Robert E. Weiss
Lead time data is compositional data found frequently in the hospitality industry. Hospitality businesses earn fees each day, however these fees cannot be recognized until later. F…
Hierarchical Topic Presence Models
Jason Wang, Robert E. Weiss
Topic models analyze text from a set of documents. Documents are modeled as a mixture of topics, with topics defined as probability distributions on words. Inferences of interest i…
Local and Global Topics in Text Modeling of Web Pages Nested in Web Sites
Jason Wang, Robert E. Weiss
Topic models are popular models for analyzing a collection of text documents. The models assert that documents are distributions over latent topics and latent topics are distributi…
Explaining the Decline of Child Mortality in 44 Developing Countries: A Bayesian Extension of Oaxaca Decomposition Methods
Antonio P. Ramos, Martin J. Flores, Leiwen Gao +2
We investigate the decline of infant mortality in 42 low and middle income countries (LMIC) using detailed micro data from 84 Demographic and Health Surveys. We estimate infant mor…
Measuring Within and Between Group Inequality in Early-Life Mortality Over Time: A Bayesian Approach with Application to India
Antonio P. Ramos, Robert E. Weiss
Most studies on inequality in infant and child mortality compare average mortality rates between large groups of births, for example, comparing births from different countries, inc…
Using a Birth-Death Process to Account for Reporting Errors in Longitudinal Self-reported Counts of Behavior
Jihey Lee, Robert E. Weiss, Marc A. Suchard
We analyze longitudinal self-reported counts of sexual partners from youth living with HIV. In self-reported survey data, subjects recall counts of events or behaviors such as the…
Meta-Analysis of Odds Ratios With Incomplete Extracted Data
Shemra Rizzo, Robert E. Weiss
A typical random effects meta-analysis of odds-ratios assumes binomially distributed numbers of events in a treatment and control group and requires the proportion of deaths to be…
Sex, lies and self-reported counts: Bayesian mixture models for heaping in longitudinal count data via birth-death processes
Forrest W. Crawford, Robert E. Weiss, Marc A. Suchard
Surveys often ask respondents to report nonnegative counts, but respondents may misremember or round to a nearby multiple of 5 or 10. This phenomenon is called heaping, and the err…
