Bayesian inference in a class of partially identified models
(The Econometric Society, 2016)This paper develops a Bayesian approach to inference in a class of partially identified econometric models. Models in this class are characterized by a known mapping between a point identified reduced-form parameter µ, and ... -
Inference and Missing Data
(Oxford University Press, 1976)When making sampling distribution inferences about the parameter of the data, {theta}, it is appropriate to ignore the process that causes missing data if the missing data are ‘missing at random’ and the observed data are ... -
Inference from Iterative Simulation Using Multiple Sequences
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 1992)The Gibbs sampler, the algorithm of Metropolis and similar iterative simulation methods are potentially very helpful for summarizing multivariate distributions. Used naively, however, iterative simulation can give misleading ... -
Not Asked and Not Answered: Multiple Imputation for Multiple Surveys
(American Statistical Association, 1999)We present a method of analyzing a series of independent cross-sectional surveys in which some questions are not answered in some surveys and some respondents do not answer some of the questions posed. The method is also ... -
A phylogenetic revision of the Glaucopsyche section (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), with special focus on the Phengaris–Maculinea clade
(Elsevier BV, 2011)Despite much research on the socially parasitic large blue butterflies (genus Maculinea) in the past 40 years, their relationship to their closest relatives, Phengaris, is controversial and the relationships among the ... -
Ranking Relations Using Analogies in Biological and Information Networks
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2010)Analogical reasoning depends fundamentally on the ability to learn and generalize about relations between objects. We develop an approach to rela- tional learning which, given a set of pairs of objects S = {A[super](1) : ... -
Reasoning about ‘irrational’ actions: When intentional movements cannot be explained, the movements themselves are seen as the goal
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Infants and adults are thought to infer the goals of observed actions by calculating the actions’ efficiency as a means to particular external effects, like teaching an object or location. However, many intentional actions ...
