This paper introduces the concept of Bayes risk consistency for classification procedures. This notion allows us to examine asymptotic properties of classification procedures which are based on ...

In this paper we develop a general framework of Bayesian influence analysis for assessing various perturbation schemes to the data, the prior and the sampling distribution for a class of statistical ...

Articulate the primary interpretations of probability theory and the role these interpretations play in Bayesian inference Use Bayesian inference to solve real-world statistics and data science ...

It turns out that the old adage about statistics and damned lies wasn’t a joke. Sticks and stones may be bonebreakers, and words inflict no (physical) pain, but numbers can kill. In 2004, for instance ...

Some of you may have come across a growing number of publications in your field using an alternative paradigm called Bayesian statistics in which to perform their statistical analyses. The goal of ...
