Coarsening-adjusted estimators for finite-population indicators
Gaia Bertarelli, Aldo Gardini
Self-reported numerical variables in sample surveys are frequently subject to coarsening, as respondents tend to report rounded or heaped values rather than the exact underlying qu…
A rapid low-background assay of Pb in archaeological lead
M. Consonni, M. Clemenza, E. Di Stefano +11
In this work, we present a fast and highly efficient method for the measurement of Pb in metallic archaeological lead using the commercial low-background liquid scintillati…
Coarsened data in small area estimation: a Bayesian two-part model for mapping smoking behaviour
Aldo Gardini, Lorenzo Mori
Estimating health indicators for restricted sub-populations is a recurring challenge in epidemiology and public health. When survey data are used, Small Area Estimation (SAE) metho…
A note on auxiliary mixture sampling for Bayesian Poisson models
Aldo Gardini, Fedele Greco, Carlo Trivisano
Bayesian hierarchical Poisson models are an essential tool for analyzing count data. However, designing efficient algorithms to sample from the posterior distribution of the target…
