Bayesian Evidence Synthesis for the common effect model
Stavros Nikolakopoulos, Björn Alfons Edmar, Ioannis Ntzoufras
Bayes Factors, the Bayesian tool for hypothesis testing, are receiving increasing attention in the literature. Compared to their frequentist rivals (-values or test statistics),…
Bayesian Handwriting Evidence Evaluation using MANOVA via Fourier-Based Extracted Features
Lampis Tzai, Ioannis Ntzoufras, Silvia Bozza
This paper proposes a novel statistical approach that aims at the identification of valid and useful patterns in handwriting examination via Bayesian modeling. Starting from a samp…
Bayesian analysis of diffusion-driven multi-type epidemic models with application to COVID-19
Lampros Bouranis, Nikolaos Demiris, Konstantinos Kalogeropoulos +1
We consider a flexible Bayesian evidence synthesis approach to model the age-specific transmission dynamics of COVID-19 based on daily mortality counts. The temporal evolution of t…
Eliciting prior information from clinical trials via calibrated Bayes factor
Roberto Macrì Demartino, Leonardo Egidi, Nicola Torelli +1
In the Bayesian framework power prior distributions are increasingly adopted in clinical trials and similar studies to incorporate external and past information, typically to infor…
