Reduced Bias for respondent driven sampling: accounting for non-uniform edge sampling probabilities in people who inject drugs in Mauritius

Miles Q. Ott, Krista J. Gile, Matthew T. Harrison +2

People who inject drugs are an important population to study in order to reduce transmission of blood-borne illnesses including HIV and Hepatitis. In this paper we estimate the HIV…

The discriminative Kalman filter for nonlinear and non-Gaussian sequential Bayesian filtering

Michael C. Burkhart, David M. Brandman, Carlos E. Vargas-Irwin +1

The Kalman filter (KF) is used in a variety of applications for computing the posterior distribution of latent states in a state space model. The model requires a linear relationsh…

Inconsistency of Pitman-Yor process mixtures for the number of components

Jeffrey W. Miller, Matthew T. Harrison

In many applications, a finite mixture is a natural model, but it can be difficult to choose an appropriate number of components. To circumvent this choice, investigators are incre…

Importance sampling for weighted binary random matrices with specified margins

Matthew T. Harrison, Jeffrey W. Miller

A sequential importance sampling algorithm is developed for the distribution that results when a matrix of independent, but not identically distributed, Bernoulli random variables…

A simple example of Dirichlet process mixture inconsistency for the number of components

Jeffrey W. Miller, Matthew T. Harrison

For data assumed to come from a finite mixture with an unknown number of components, it has become common to use Dirichlet process mixtures (DPMs) not only for density estimation,…

Exact sampling and counting for fixed-margin matrices

Jeffrey W. Miller, Matthew T. Harrison

The uniform distribution on matrices with specified row and column sums is often a natural choice of null model when testing for structure in two-way tables (binary or nonnegative…
