Bivariate beta distribution: parameter inference and diagnostics
Lucas Machado Moschen, Luiz Max Carvalho
Correlated proportions appear in many real-world applications and present a unique challenge in terms of finding an appropriate probabilistic model due to their constrained nature.…
Optimal Priors for the Discounting Parameter of the Normalized Power Prior
Yueqi Shen, Luiz M. Carvalho, Matthew A. Psioda +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,…
Adaptive truncation of infinite sums: applications to Statistics
Luiz Max Carvalho, Wellington J. Silva, Guido A. Moreira
It is often the case in Statistics that one needs to compute sums of infinite series, especially in marginalising over discrete latent variables. This has become more relevant with…
Combining probability distributions: Extending the logarithmic pooling approach
Luiz Max de Carvalho, Daniel A. M. Villela, Flavio Codeco Coelho +1
Combining distributions is an important issue in decision theory and Bayesian inference. Logarithmic pooling is a popular method to aggregate expert opinions by using a set of weig…
