Bootstrapping multiple systems estimates to account for model selection
Bernard W. Silverman, Lax Chan, Kyle Vincent
Multiple systems estimation using a Poisson loglinear model is a standard approach to quantifying hidden populations where data sources are based on lists of known cases. Informati…
Multiple Systems Estimation for Sparse Capture Data: Inferential Challenges when there are Non-Overlapping Lists
Lax Chan, Bernard W. Silverman, Kyle Vincent
Multiple systems estimation strategies have recently been applied to quantify hard-to-reach populations, particularly when estimating the number of victims of human trafficking and…
Perfect simulation using dominated coupling from the past with application to area-interaction point processes and wavelet thresholding
Graeme K. Ambler, Bernard W. Silverman
We consider perfect simulation algorithms for locally stable point processes based on dominated coupling from the past, and apply these methods in two different contexts. A new ver…
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…
