de Finetti Priors using Markov chain Monte Carlo computations
Recent advances in Monte Carlo methods allow us to revisit work by de Finetti who suggested the use of approximate exchangeability in the analyses of contingency tables. This paper...

Cuts in Bayesian graphical models
Abstract The cut function defined by the OpenBUGS software is described as a “valve” that prevents feedback in Bayesian graphical models. It is shown that the MCMC algorithm a...

Restricted likelihood ratio tests for linearity in scalar-on-function regression
We propose a procedure for testing the linearity of a scalar-on-function regression relationship. To do so, we use the functional generalized additive model (FGAM), a recently dev...

Information matrix for hidden Markov models with covariates
For a general class of hidden Markov models that may include time-varying covariates, we illustrate how to compute the observed information matrix, which may be used to obtain sta...

Group descent algorithms for nonconvex penalized linear and logistic regression models with grouped predictors
Penalized regression is an attractive framework for variable selection problems. Often, variables possess a grouping structure, and the relevant selection problem is that of selec...

An adaptive spatial model for precipitation data from multiple satellites over large regions
Satellite measurements have of late become an important source of information for climate features such as precipitation due to their near-global coverage. In this article, we look...

A focused information criterion for graphical models
A new method for model selection for Gaussian Bayesian networks and Markov networks, with extensions towards ancestral graphs, is constructed to have good mean squared error proper...
