Hjort and Glad (1995) present a method for semiparametric density estimation. Relative to the ordinary kernel density estimator, this technique performs much better when a parametr…
Post-Processing Posterior Predictive P-values

Let be a random sample from an unknown probability distribution on the sample space , and let be a parameter of interest. The present pape…
Tests for constancy of model parameters Over time
Nils Lid Hjort, Alex J. Koning
Suppose that a sequence of data points follows a distribution of a certain parametric form, but that one or more of the underlying parameters may change over time. This paper addre…
