Robert Goudie - Translating predictive distributions into informative priors
Prior information is often easier to obtain on observable quantities in a model (or other low dimensional marginals). However, identifying the appropriate informative prior that matches this information is often difficult, particularly for complex models. I will discuss an approach and associated algorithm for “translating” such information into priors on parameters, making it easier for applied Bayesian researchers to specify sensible priors.

Erik Werner - Using a Bayesian model for clinical study design and blinded data review
Просмотров 1207 месяцев назад
At IRLAB we develop novel treatments for Parkinson’s disease. A central part of this work is the planning and analysis of clinical trials. A key benefit of using a Bayesian approach for this is that the models used for planning trials can be continuously refined as blinded data from the trials become available. This allows simulation of a range of plausible study outcomes that are consistent wi...
Wolfgang Traylor - Bottom-up mechanistic ecosystem models framed Bayesian
Просмотров 1237 месяцев назад
Highly mechanistic dynamic ecosystem models are typically complex and parameter-rich, but thanks to being constrained by ecological mechanisms they are able to predict properties of past or future ecosystems with no contemporary analogs. However, they usually rely on manual tuning and lack quantitative uncertainty analyses. On the other hand, probabilistic models are typically simpler but less ...
Nicky Welton - Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis for Healthcare Decision Making
Просмотров 1 тыс.7 месяцев назад
National healthcare organisations issue guidance on which treatments are recommended as effective and cost-effective options. This requires an assessment of the relative efficacy of multiple treatment options based on all relevant evidence that is available. Network Meta-Analysis (NMA) is a method to synthesise evidence from studies that form a connected network of treatment comparisons to deli...
Noric Couderc - Pushing for Bayesian Methods in Empirical Software Engineering
Просмотров 1697 месяцев назад
The evaluation of software performance requires the analysis of empirical data using statistical techniques. However, software engineering researchers typically have no formal training in empirical data analysis, they typically use frequentist approaches, but with no clear methodology. In this presentation, I will present a Bayesian statistical model tailored to the analysis of software perform...

Szilvia Szeier - Conceptualizing Neuronal Networks as Vector Fields: A Bayesian Perspective on Brain Function The notion that the brain operates as a probabilistic inference machine, integrating prior knowledge with incoming sensory information to form beliefs about the world has received considerable interest in the field of neuroscience. While this hypothesis is a popular opinion among resear...
Filip Tronarp - The Bayesian Approach to Numerical Analysis
Просмотров 507 месяцев назад
A function given by a formula is completely specified. However, given the formula how do we generally compute its integral? Typically, this question is answered by interpolating it at a finite set of points with, say a polynomial, which can then be integrated. But once we have accepted that we don’t know everything about our function and that we are only allowed finite data, should we not be Ba...

Florence Bockting - Simulation-Based Prior Knowledge Elicitation for Parametric Bayesian Models
Просмотров 1647 месяцев назад
A central characteristic of Bayesian statistics is the ability to consistently incorporate prior knowledge into various modeling processes. In our work, we focus on translating domain expert knowledge into corresponding prior distributions over model parameters, a process known as prior elicitation. Expert knowledge can manifest itself in diverse formats, including information about raw data, s...

Marcelo Hartmann - Flexible prior elicitation via the prior predictive distribution
Просмотров 266Год назад
The prior distribution for the unknown model parameters plays a crucial role in the process of statistical inference based on Bayesian methods. However, specifying suitable priors is often difficult even when detailed prior knowledge is available in principle. The challenge is to express quantitative information in the form of a probability distribution. Prior elicitation addresses this questio...

Nikolas Siccha - Practical model specific automatic reparametrizations for Bayesian inference
Просмотров 146Год назад
Probabilistic programming languages and packages such as Stan, PyMC, Turing.jl and brms have done a lot to make Bayesian inference more accessible to applied researchers. However, there are still several roadblocks to more “automatic” reliable Bayesian inference for general models, such as multilevel hierarchical models or discretized Gaussian process models. We aim to remove one of the roadblo...

i can't hear anything. what a horrible presentation
This is a good distillation of the ideas of E.T. Jaynes, however, I would welcome further distillation in the form of interactive (graphics??) exercises involving geometric invariances. I don't mean in the form of Venn diagrams but something like a bivector whose area does not depend on a boundary shape such as a circle, square or triangle. R. Buckminster pointed out many years ago that raising a number to the second power can just as easily be represented with a triangle as a square. So I would like to be able to move a slider controlling an area of 100 unit shapes shown as either triangles or squares. I don't know if this is a good idea or not but I would like something more visual and interactive to work with. Years ago I was involved in a question about randomizing the first replicate of entries in an agricultural experiment and realized that if each entry is assigned a colour rather than a number, it didn't matter if I called the entry in plot 1, entry #1 or entry #5 because all the blue entries would be in the same places in the other replicates regardless of whether the blue entry was called entry #1 or entry #5. I would also like to see the transcript of an instructional video (to accompany the interactive WALKME-type interactive exercises) indexed conceptually with categorized question-based indexing as used in ASK hypermedia systems. Chapter titles can be very uninformative compared to categorized and timestamped hyperlinked text questions in a conversational reading system. ??? 38:48 "six out of ten" but there are 11 dots. 7 tan and 4 red.
19:45 "Probability is a numerical repreesntation of logical plausibility, conveniently rescaled". Such an elegant description! I came here after reading "Probability Theory: The Logic of Science" because I wasn't able to articulate the main message of what I read. You have done this beautifully.
I wonder if there is a much deeper problem. For many types of dynamics and problem spaces, P[*], the idea of simple probability, is just not very coherent way of saying anything useful. Crushing a system down into a single dimension, trying to shoehorn in poorly understood measurements and data and poorly understood models for 'P', not to mention relying on all sorts of foundational assumptions about the structure of cause/effect, unfounded assumptions about randomness, and statistics just doesn't make sense in many cases, like discussing medicine in terms of the 4 humors. Bayesian thinking doesn't save you, it just lets you recognize the even deeper problem, it's not just not that P[E | H] != P[E | H], the problem is there is no reasonable way to know if E or H are even sensical concepts that capture the dynamics you intend, if their relationship is meaningful, and no way to know if taking 'P' of them maps to anything useful or is subtly misleading in ways you cannot imagine.
This was very interesting. Thank you!
Cox theorems as Cox wrote them (and as Jaynes repeated) were found later to not be rigorous and have a flaw in which Halpern and others found counterexamples. For example, it disallows belief that only has finite gradiations. To patch Cox Theorem to make a Cox-like Theorem, you need to introduce things that do not make it natural. Kolmogorov's axioms do not suffer from this- they are rigorous as stated and quite intuitive. IMO "probability" is not the same as belief/chance/uncertainty. If are indifferent to A, that does not make P(A) anything that we assign it, it just means we are indifferent. If there are n choices and you make P(A)=1/n, you have not measured the probability of A by any repeated well-designed experiment. Logic IMO cannot be the basis of probability, -only repeated well-designed experiments that frequentism gives a nod to can be, since logic often fails to correspond with reality. For example, what is 7 Bigfoot + 2 Bigfoot? Logic says 9 Bigfoot, but cannot be since Bigfoot doesn't exist. There is no support for any proposition there except in a mathematical fantasy world.
"Logic IMO cannot be the basis of probability" 'nuff said
it is a great resource to learn from the pkg author. thank u all for all the great work!
Great talk, really clear-reasoning, very didactic and especially usefull from the perspective of social sciences, thanks
Read my review here statisticool.com/mathstat/claytonsfallacy.html The TLDR version of my review is that Clayton oversells Bayes and undersells frequentism.
Sherlock Holmes a Bayesian? ... i don´t know but i´m thinking about the description of Thomas Sebeok of sherlock reasoning in terms of the peirceian "abductive inference". I think it is a good question if could "abduction" be descrived also in bayesian terms or not?. In principe i have some exceptist cautions about that clain (like you has) ... What is your oponion about this particular issue? Please, be clear 😁. I´m not a mathematician but a social scientist (although whit a special interest for epistemological issues)
Thanks for a great video and nice questions to Will Landau
