Regularized Small Area Estimation with Graph Laplacian Benchmarking priors
Jairo Fúquene-Patiño, Brenda Betancourt
Small area estimation (SAE) often requires both borrowing information across areas and benchmarking estimates to reliable aggregates. We develop a Bayesian framework that addresses…
Statistics in the Age of AI
Juan Sosa, Brenda Betancourt
Artificial intelligence (AI) can automate programming, model fitting, visualization, simulation, literature synthesis, and increasingly sophisticated methodological tasks, but it c…
Hybrid Bayesian Models for Community Detection with Application to a Colombian Conflict Network
Juan Sosa, Eleni Dilma, Brenda Betancourt
We introduce a flexible Bayesian framework for clustering nodes in undirected binary networks, motivated by the need to uncover structural patterns in complex environments. Buildin…
Generative Filtering for Recursive Bayesian Inference with Streaming Data
Ian Taylor, Andee Kaplan, Brenda Betancourt
In the streaming data setting, where data arrive continuously or in frequent batches and there is no pre-determined amount of total data, Bayesian models can employ recursive updat…
