Multilevel regression trees with application to wildfires in the American west

John Henry V. Gray, Tianjian Zhou, Benjamin A. Shaby

We propose a Bayesian regression tree model fit within a multilevel structure and apply it to historic wildfire data in the western United States. Sharing of information between re…

Bayesian model averaging of risk set probabilities using a geometric representation of multivariate extremes

Elizabeth S. Lawler, Benjamin A. Shaby

Modeling multivariate extremes using a geometric perspective leverages the shape of the multivariate point cloud to make inference on joint tail probabilities. While the original s…

Log-Laplace Nuggets for Fully Bayesian Fitting of Spatial Extremes Models to Threshold Exceedances

Muyang Shi, Likun Zhang, Benjamin A. Shaby

Flexible random scale-mixture models provide a framework for capturing a broad range of extremal dependence structures. However, likelihood-based inference under the peaks-over-thr…

Spatial scale-aware tail dependence modeling for high-dimensional spatial extremes

Muyang Shi, Likun Zhang, Mark D. Risser +1

Extreme events over large spatial domains may exhibit highly heterogeneous tail dependence characteristics, yet most existing spatial extremes models yield only one dependence clas…

A Three-groups Non-local Model for Combining Heterogeneous Data Sources to Identify Genes Associated with Parkinson's Disease

Troy P. Wixson, Benjamin A. Shaby, Daisy L. Philtron +5

We seek to identify genes involved in Parkinson's Disease (PD) by combining information across different experiment types. Each experiment, taken individually, may contain too litt…

Modeling First Arrival of Migratory Birds using a Hierarchical Max-infinitely Divisible Process

Dhanushi A. Wijeyakulasuriya, Ephraim M. Hanks, Benjamin A. Shaby

Humans have recorded the arrival dates of migratory birds for millennia, searching for trends and patterns. As the first arrival among individuals in a species is the realized tail…
