Bayesian Plackett--Luce latent block models for ranked data

Lapo Santi, Nial Friel, Valeria Vitelli

We introduce a Bayesian latent block model that jointly partitions assessors and items under a Plackett--Luce observation model. Assessors are assigned to clusters and items to…

Bayesian Conway-Maxwell-Poisson model with spike-and slab priors for dispersed count data with application to football scores

Nick Zhang, Riccardo Rastelli, Nial Friel

Statistical modeling for goals scored in football is typically achieved using the Poisson distribution and its variants. Here we propose a Bayesian framework for modeling under- an…

Ordering Stochastic Block Models via prior transitivity

Lapo Santi, Nial Friel, Pierpaolo De Blasi

In directed networks, nodes may form groups with similar interaction patterns, while these groups may themselves follow an ordered structure. Existing methods typically treat these…

The Bradley-Terry Stochastic Block Model

Lapo Santi, Nial Friel

The Bradley-Terry model is widely used for the analysis of pairwise comparison data and, in essence, produces a ranking of the items under comparison. We embed the Bradley-Terry mo…

A Zero-Inflated Poisson Latent Position Cluster Model

Chaoyi Lu, Riccardo Rastelli, Nial Friel

The latent position network model (LPM) is a popular approach for the statistical analysis of network data. A central aspect of this model is that it assigns nodes to random positi…
