Conditional Distribution Estimation for Functional Responses with Random Forests
Poorbita Kundu, Antonio R. Linero
Many functional data analyses reduce random functions to scalar summaries or conditional mean curves. This is limiting when we wish to understand how covariates affect the distribu…
A Simple Example of Bayesian Nonparametric Inconsistency
Antonio R. Linero
I present a very simple example in which a full-support prior over distribution functions has an inconsistent posterior, which I believe has instructive value. The example is $Y_i…
Defensive Model Expansion for Robust Bayesian Inference
Antonio R. Linero
Some applied researchers hesitate to use nonparametric methods, worrying that they will lose power in small samples or overfit the data when simpler models are sufficient. We argue…
Decision Theoretic Subgroup Detection With Bayesian Machine Learning
Entejar Alam, Poorbita Kundu, Antonio R. Linero
We consider the problem of identifying promising subpopulations in terms of treatment effectiveness or treatment effect heterogeneity, from a Bayesian decision theoretic perspectiv…
A Unified Bayesian Nonparametric Framework for Ordinal, Survival, and Density Regression Using the Complementary Log-Log Link
Entejar Alam, Antonio R. Linero
In this work, we develop applications of the complementary log-log (cloglog) link to problems in Bayesian nonparametrics. Although less commonly used than the probit or logit links…
Relative Survival Analysis Using Bayesian Decision Tree Ensembles
Piyali Basak, Antonio R. Linero, Camille Maringe +1
In cancer epidemiology, the \emph{relative survival framework} is used to quantify the hazard associated with cancer by comparing the all-cause mortality hazard in cancer patients…
