Model specification in hierarchical meta analysis

Nonparametric analysis of the order-statistic model in software reliability
(IEEE, 2007)In the literature on statistical inference in software reliability, the assumptions of parametric models and random sampling of bugs have been pervasive. We argue that both assumptions are problematic, the first because ... -
Leadership for Business Excellence: The Gender Perspective
(SAI Global, 2008)The adoption of appropriate forms of leadership in response to modern organizational needs has become a major strand of management theory and underpins the pursuit of Total Quality/Business Excellence. With some notable ... -
Fully Bayesian source separation with application to the cosmic microwave background
(IEEE, 2008)We address the problem of source separation in the presence of prior information. We develop a fully Bayesian source separation technique that assumes a very flexible model for the sources, namely the Gaussian mixture ... -
A probability model of system downtime with implications for optimal warranty design
(2009)Traditional approaches to modeling the availability of a system often do not formally take into account uncertainty over the parameter values of the model. Such models are then frequently criticised because the ... -
Statistical Hough Transform
(IEEE, 2009)The Standard Hough Transform is a popular method in image processing and is traditionally estimated using histograms. Densities modelled with histograms in high dimensional space and/or with few observations, can be very ... -
Modeling and adapting production environmental stress testing
(2009)This study describes the production sampling environmental stress test (PSEST) process and the offline analysis conducted. Some of the key characteristics and parameters of the test are outlined. The analytical process ... -
A fast Bayesian model for a latent radio signal
(2009)Abstract?This paper considers the use of a recently developed Bayesian statistical approximation technique that leads to very fast determination of highly accurate estimates for latent radio signal power. Following ... -
Bayesian spatiotemporal model of fMRI data using transfer functions
(2010)This research describes a new Bayesian spatiotemporal model to analyse BOLD fMRI studies. In the temporal dimension, we describe the shape of the hemodynamic response function (HRF) with a transfer function model. In ... -
Bayesian factor analysis using Gaussian mixture sources, with applicatin to separation of the cosmic microwave background
(2010)In this paper a fully Bayesian factor analysis model is developed that assumes a very general model for each factor, namely the Gaussian mixture. We discuss the cases where factors are both independent and dependent. ... -
Bayesian inference for double Pareto lognormal queues
(2010)In this article we describe a method for carrying out Bayesian inference for the double Pareto lognormal (dPlN) distribution which has recently been proposed as a model for heavy-tailed phenomena. We apply our approach ... -
The variational Bayes method for inverse regression problems with an application to the palaeoclimate reconstruction
(2010)The palaeoclimate reconstruction problem is described as an example of inverse regression problems. In the reconstruction problem, past climate is inferred using pollen data. Modern data is used to build a regression ... -
Squaring the Circle? Work and Family Issues among Owners of Small Business
(ISBE, 2010-11)This paper addresses the largely under-researched theme of how entrepreneurs in Ireland manage their business lives in parallel with their family commitments, with specific reference to dependent children. Since the ... -
Estimating production test properties from test measurement data
(2011)A complex sequence of tests on components and the system is a part of many manufacturing processes. Statistical imperfect test and repair models can be used to derive the properties of such test sequences but require model ... -
Bayesian kernel projections for classification of high dimensional data
(2011)A Bayesian multi-category kernel classification method is proposed. The algorithm performs the classification of the projections of the data to the principal axes of the feature space. The advantage of this approach is ... -
Who's Minding the Kids? Work and Family Issues among Owners of Small Business Enterprises in Ireland
(Edward Elgar, 2011)This chapter addresses the largely under-researched theme of how entrepreneurs in Ireland manage their business lives in parallel with their family commitments, with specific reference to dependent children. Since ... -
Considerations on the UK re-arrest hazard rate analysis
(2011)The offence risk posed by individuals who are arrested, but where subsequently no charge or cau- tion is administered, has been used as an argument for justifying the retention of such individuals? DNA and identification ... -
Rate of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
(2011)Background The population rate of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) is frequently reported as 10%. However, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the true population based frequency of FALS has never been ... -
Considerations on the UK Re-Arrest Hazard Data Analysis (How Model Selection Can Alter Conclusions for Policy Development)
(2011)The offence risk posed by individuals who are arrested, but where subsequently no charge or caution is administered, has been used as an argument for justifying the retention of such individuals? DNA and identification ... -
The Impact of a Revised EQ-5D Population Scoring on Preference-Based Utility Scores in an Inflammatory Arthritis Cohort
(2011)Background and Objective It is well established that there are problems with the EQ-5D. This is due to the original scoring methods used and how negative time trade-off (TTO) values were treated. A revised scoring method ...
