Mixture-based Nonparametric Estimation of Spatial Covariance Functions with Applications to HIV Key Population Size Estimation across Sub-Saharan Africa
Manushi Siriwardana, Hyebin Song, Le Bao +1
Consistent data on the sizes of key populations, such as female sex workers (FSWs), are often scarce, particularly at the sub-national level. Accurate size estimates are critical t…

Bayesian inference for the automultinomial model with an application to landcover data
Maria Paula Duenas-Herrera, Stephen Berg, Murali Haran
Multicategory lattice data arise in a wide variety of disciplines such as image analysis, biology, and forestry. We consider modeling such data with the automultinomial model, whic…

Weighted shape-constrained estimation for the autocovariance sequence from a reversible Markov chain
Hyebin Song, Stephen Berg
We present a novel weighted projection method for estimating autocovariance sequences and spectral density functions from reversible Markov chains. Berg and Song (2023) in…
