Nonparametric quantile inference using Dirichlet processes
Nils Lid Hjort, Sonia Petrone
This chapter deals with nonparametric inference for quantiles from a Bayesian perspective, using the Dirichlet process. The posterior distribution for quantiles is characterised, e…

Counting the uncounted: How many were killed in Guatemala, 1978-1995?
Nils Lid Hjort
In various application domains, there is a certain `null cell', inside a multinomial setup, where observations are recorded for the other cells, but where one cannot count the numb…
Estimating the logistic regression equation when the model is incorrect
Nils Lid Hjort
Protesting mildly against the notion of an exactly correct parametric model the view is adopted that the logistic regression equation is merely an approximation to the underlying,…
