Comment: Bibliometrics in the Context of the UK Research Assessment Exercise
Bernard W. Silverman
Research funding and reputation in the UK have, for over two decades, been increasingly dependent on a regular peer-review of all UK departments. This is to move to a system more b…
Perfect simulation for Bayesian wavelet thresholding with correlated coefficients
Graeme K. Ambler, Bernard W. Silverman
We introduce a new method of Bayesian wavelet shrinkage for reconstructing a signal when we observe a noisy version. Rather than making the common assumption that the wavelet coeff…
Perfect simulation of spatial point processes using dominated coupling from the past with application to a multiscale area-interaction point process
Graeme K. Ambler, Bernard W. Silverman
We consider perfect simulation algorithms for locally stable point processes based on dominated coupling from the past. A version of the algorithm is developed which is feasible fo…
Empirical Bayes selection of wavelet thresholds
Iain M. Johnstone, Bernard W. Silverman
This paper explores a class of empirical Bayes methods for level-dependent threshold selection in wavelet shrinkage. The prior considered for each wavelet coefficient is a mixture…
Needles and straw in haystacks: Empirical Bayes estimates of possibly sparse sequences
Iain M. Johnstone, Bernard W. Silverman
An empirical Bayes approach to the estimation of possibly sparse sequences observed in Gaussian white noise is set out and investigated. The prior considered is a mixture of an ato…
