Adaptive utility and trial aversion
HOULDING, BRETT (Elsevier, 2011)Decision making with adaptive utility provides a generalisation to classical Bayesian decision theory, allowing the creation of a normative theory for decision selection when preferences are initially uncertain. In this ... -
Considerations on the UK Re-Arrest Hazard Data Analysis (How Model Selection Can Alter Conclusions for Policy Development)
WILSON, SIMON; HOULDING, BRETT (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 ... -
Considerations on the UK re-arrest hazard rate analysis
WILSON, SIMON; HOULDING, BRETT (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 ... -
Factors influencing when species are first named and estimating global species richness
WILSON, SIMON; HOULDING, BRETT (2015)Estimates of global species richness should consider what factors influence the rate of species discovery at global scales. However, past studies only considered regional scales and/or samples representing <0.4% of all ... -
A fast Bayesian model for a latent radio signal
FORDE, TIMOTHY KIRBY; HOULDING, BRETT; WILSON, SIMON PAUL (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 ... -
Nonparametric Predictive Utility Inference
HOULDING, BRETT (2012)We consider the natural combination of two strands of recent statistical research, i.e., that of decision making with uncertain utility and that of Nonparametric Predictive Inference (NPI). In doing so we present the idea ... -
Predicting total global species richness using rates of species description and estimates of taxonomic effort
WILSON, SIMON; HOULDING, BRETT (2012)We found that trends in the rate of description of 580,000 marine and terrestrial species, in the taxonomically authoritative World Register of Marine Species and Catalogue of Life databases, were similar until the 1950s. ... -
A probability model of system downtime with implications for optimal warranty design
WILSON, SIMON; HOULDING, BRETT (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 ...
