Title: Bayesian simultaneous prediction intervals and bounds for a finite population

Abstract

Simultaneous prediction intervals and bounds provide a statistical characterization of a proportion of a finite population. In this article we consider these predictions from a Bayesian inferential approach and different ways to evaluate them including simulation.

Characterizing uncertainty and population variability in the toxicokinetics of trichloroethylene and metabolites in mice, rats, and humans using an updated database, physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model, and Bayesian approach

Journal Article Chiu, Weihsueh A., E-mail: chiu.weihsueh@epa.go ; Okino, Miles S ; Evans, Marina V., E-mail: evans.marina@epa.go - Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology

We have developed a comprehensive, Bayesian, PBPK model-based analysis of the population toxicokinetics of trichloroethylene (TCE) and its metabolites in mice, rats, and humans, considering a wider range of physiological, chemical, in vitro, and in vivo data than any previously published analysis of TCE. The toxicokinetics of the 'population average,' its population variability, and their uncertainties are characterized in an approach that strives to be maximally transparent and objective. Estimates of experimental variability and uncertainty were also included in this analysis. The experimental database was expanded to include virtually all available in vivo toxicokinetic data, which permitted, in rats andmore »« less

National population mapping from sparse survey data: A hierarchical Bayesian modeling framework to account for uncertainty

Journal Article Leasure, Douglas R. ; Jochem, Warren C. ; Weber, Eric M. ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Population estimates are critical for government services, development projects, and public health campaigns. Such data are typically obtained through a national population and housing census. However, population estimates can quickly become inaccurate in localized areas, particularly where migration or displacement has occurred. Some conflict-affected and resource-poor countries have not conducted a census in over 10 y. We developed a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate population numbers in small areas based on enumeration data from sample areas and nationwide information about administrative boundaries, building locations, settlement types, and other factors related to population density. We demonstrated this model by estimating populationmore »« less

An Application of Bayesian Methods for Combining Data from Different Test Modalities

Technical Report ROBINSON, JR, GERALD D ; CHANG, IYIIN

This report documents the research into the application of hierarchical Bayesian methods for characterizing the population failure rate (i.e. probability of defect) of an electronic component based on test data from a number of different test modalities. Classical statistical methods, those based on a frequency approach permit the combination of point estimates but stumble when characterizing the resulting confidence limits. Classical Bayesian methods permit the logical combination of test data, but are not fully efficient in incorporating all available information. In particular, classical Bayesian methods assume that the articles under test are not related in any manner even though themore »« less

Sparse Bayesian mass mapping with uncertainties: local credible intervals

Journal Article Price, M. A. ; Cai, X. ; McEwen, J. D. ; ... - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

ABSTRACT Until recently, mass-mapping techniques for weak gravitational lensing convergence reconstruction have lacked a principled statistical framework upon which to quantify reconstruction uncertainties, without making strong assumptions of Gaussianity. In previous work, we presented a sparse hierarchical Bayesian formalism for convergence reconstruction that addresses this shortcoming. Here, we draw on the concept of local credible intervals (cf. Bayesian error bars) as an extension of the uncertainty quantification techniques previously detailed. These uncertainty quantification techniques are benchmarked against those recovered via Px-MALA – a state-of-the-art proximal Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. We find that, typically, our recovered uncertainties are everywhere conservative (never underestimate the uncertainty, yet the approximation error is bounded above), of similar magnitude and highly correlated with those recovered via Px-MALA. Moreover, we demonstrate an increase in computational efficiency ofmore »« less

Bayesian approach to model-based extrapolation of nuclear observables

Journal Article Neufcourt, Léo ; Cao, Yuchen ; Nazarewicz, Witold ; ... - Physical Review C

Here, we considered 10 global models based on nuclear density functional theory with realistic energy density functionals as well as two more phenomenological mass models. The emulators of two-neutron separation energy residuals and Bayesian confidence intervals defining theoretical error bars were constructed using Bayesian Gaussian processes and Bayesian neural networks. By establishing statistical methodology and parameters, we carried out extrapolations toward the two-neutron dripline. While both Gaussian processes (GP) and Bayesian neural networks reduce the root-mean-square (rms) deviation from experiment significantly, GP offers a better and much more stable performance. The increase in the predictive power of microscopic models aidedmore »« less
