LOCUS: A Distribution-Free Loss-Quantile Score for Risk-Aware Predictions

Matheus Barreto, Mário de Castro, Thiago R. Ramos +2

Modern machine learning models can be accurate on average yet still make mistakes that dominate deployment cost. We introduce Locus, a distribution-free wrapper that produces a per…

Approximate Bayesian Computation Made Easy: A Practical Guide to ABC-SMC for Dynamical Systems with \texttt{pymc}

Mario Castro

Mechanistic models are essential tools across ecology, epidemiology, and the life sciences, but parameter inference remains challenging when likelihood functions are intractable. A…

A new regression model for positive data

Marcelo Bourguignon, Manoel Santos-Neto, Mário de Castro

In this paper, we propose a regression model where the response variable is beta prime distributed using a new parameterization of this distribution that is indexed by mean and pre…

A Poisson Mixed Model with Nonnormal Random Effect Distribution

Lizandra C. Fabio, Gilberto A. Paula, Mario de Castro

We propose in this paper a random intercept Poisson model in which the random effect distribution is assumed to follow a generalized log-gamma (GLG) distribution. We derive the fir…
