Mapping the landscape of mathematical models for antimicrobial resistance: a scoping review
Felipe Schardong, Claudio Jose Struchiner, Luiz Max Carvalho
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public health problem, contributing to an estimated 4.95 million deaths in 2019 and projected to cause up to 10 million…
hdbayes: An R Package for Bayesian Analysis of Generalized Linear Models Using Historical Data
Ethan M. Alt, Xinxin Chen, Luiz M. Carvalho +1
There has been increased interest in the use of historical data to formulate informative priors in regression models. While many such priors for incorporating historical data have…
ANPP: the Adapted Normalized Power Prior for Borrowing Information from Multiple Historical Datasets in Clinical Trials
Yueqi Shen, Matthew A. Psioda, Luiz M. Carvalho +1
The power prior is a popular class of informative priors for incorporating information from historical data. It involves raising the likelihood for the historical data to a power,…
On the lumpability of tree-valued Markov chains
Rodrigo B. Alves, Yuri F. Saporito, Luiz M. Carvalho
Phylogenetic trees constitute an interesting class of objects for stochastic processes due to the non-standard nature of the space they inhabit. In particular, many statistical app…
Embarrassingly Parallel GFlowNets
Tiago da Silva, Luiz Max Carvalho, Amauri Souza +2
GFlowNets are a promising alternative to MCMC sampling for discrete compositional random variables. Training GFlowNets requires repeated evaluations of the unnormalized target dist…
