Hierarchical Continuous Time Hidden Markov Model, with Application in Zero-Inflated Accelerometer Data
Zekun Xu, Eric B. Laber, Ana-Maria Staicu
Wearable devices including accelerometers are increasingly being used to collect high-frequency human activity data in situ. There is tremendous potential to use such data to infor…
Generalization error for decision problems
Eric B. Laber, Min Qian
In this entry we review the generalization error for classification and single-stage decision problems. We distinguish three alternative definitions of the generalization error whi…
Thompson Sampling for Pursuit-Evasion Problems
Zhen Li, Nicholas J. Meyer, Eric B. Laber +1
Pursuit-evasion is a multi-agent sequential decision problem wherein a group of agents known as pursuers coordinate their traversal of a spatial domain to locate an agent trying to…
Bayesian Nonparametric Policy Search with Application to Periodontal Recall Intervals
Qian Guan, Brian J. Reich, Eric B. Laber +1
Tooth loss from periodontal disease is a major public health burden in the United States. Standard clinical practice is to recommend a dental visit every six months; however, this…
Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves and Confidence Bands for Support Vector Machines
Daniel J. Luckett, Eric B. Laber, Samer S. El-Kamary +5
Many problems that appear in biomedical decision making, such as diagnosing disease and predicting response to treatment, can be expressed as binary classification problems. The co…
Variable selection using pseudo-variables
Wenhao Hu, Eric Laber, Leonard Stefanski
Penalized regression has become a standard tool for model building across a wide range of application domains. Common practice is to tune the amount of penalization to tradeoff bia…
