Pragmatic hypotheses in the evolution of science
Luis G. Esteves, Rafael Izbicki, Rafael B. Stern +1
This paper introduces pragmatic hypotheses and relates this concept to the spiral of scientific evolution. Previous works determined a characterization of logically consistent stat…
Quantification under prior probability shift: the ratio estimator and its extensions
Afonso Fernandes Vaz, Rafael Izbicki, Rafael Bassi Stern
The quantification problem consists of determining the prevalence of a given label in a target population. However, one often has access to the labels in a sample from the training…
WIKS: A general Bayesian nonparametric index for quantifying differences between two populations
Rafael de Carvalho Ceregatti, Rafael Izbicki, Luis Ernesto Bueno Salasar
The problem of deciding whether two samples arise from the same distribution is often the question of interest in many research investigations. Numerous statistical methods have be…
Agnostic tests can control the type I and type II errors simultaneously
Victor Coscrato, Rafael Izbicki, Rafael Bassi Stern
Despite its common practice, statistical hypothesis testing presents challenges in interpretation. For instance, in the standard frequentist framework there is no control of the ty…
ABC-CDE: Towards Approximate Bayesian Computation with Complex High-Dimensional Data and Limited Simulations
Rafael Izbicki, Ann B. Lee, Taylor Pospisil
Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) is typically used when the likelihood is either unavailable or intractable but where data can be simulated under different parameter settings…
