Multivariate Conway-Maxwell-Poisson Distribution: Sarmanov Method and Doubly-Intractable Bayesian Inference
Luiza S. C. Piancastelli, Nial Friel, Wagner Barreto-Souza +1
In this paper, a multivariate count distribution with Conway-Maxwell (COM)-Poisson marginals is proposed. To do this, we develop a modification of the Sarmanov method for construct…
Assessing competitive balance in the English Premier League for over forty seasons using a stochastic block model
Francesca Basini, Vasiliki Tsouli, Ioannis Ntzoufras +1
Competitive balance is the subject of much interest in the sports analytics literature and beyond. In this paper, we develop a statistical network model based on an extension of th…
Calibrating COVID-19 SEIR models with time-varying effective contact rates
James P. Gleeson, Thomas Brendan Murphy, Joseph D. O'Brien +3
We describe the population-based SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infected, removed) model developed by the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group (IEMAG), which advises the Iri…
Assessing epidemic curves for evidence of superspreading
Joe Meagher, Nial Friel
The expected number of secondary infections arising from each index case, referred to as the reproduction or number, is a vital summary statistic for understanding and managing…
A Bayesian latent allocation model for clustering compositional data with application to the Great Barrier Reef
Luiza Piancastelli, Nial Friel, Julie Vercelloni +2
Relative abundance is a common metric to estimate the composition of species in ecological surveys reflecting patterns of commonness and rarity of biological assemblages. Measureme…
Statistical Network Analysis with Bergm
Alberto Caimo, Lampros Bouranis, Robert Krause +1
Recent advances in computational methods for intractable models have made network data increasingly amenable to statistical analysis. Exponential random graph models (ERGMs) emerge…
