Hi all, May i know does R has packages or code to run "Bayesian Relative Survival Analysis"? I have look through Bayesian Survival Analysis(2001) by Joseph George Ibrahim<http://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Joseph+George+Ibrahim%22>, Ming-Hui Chen<http://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Ming-Hu...

Dear all, I am trying to learn Bayesian inference and Bayesian data analysis, I am new in the field. Would any experts on the list recommend any good sites or materials for beginners? My approach is to learn and understand the theory first, then program on my own using R, though I see there are already packages. appreciate any help, t...

Hi everyone, I am wondering if there exists a stepwise regression function for the Bayesian regression model. I tried googling, but I couldn't find anything. I know "step" function exists for regular stepwise regression, but nothing for Bayes.

I am an economist who decided it's high time that I learned some Bayesian statistics. I am following An Introduction to Modern Bayesian Econometrics by T. Lancaster. The book recommends using BUGS, but I wonder if there are any alternatives which are free software and fully integrated to R (which I have been using for more than two years for numerical computations.) I...

I'm just starting to learn to use R, and although I'm seeing lots of functions aimed at doing orthodox statistical analyses, I don't see the same for Bayesian analyses. What support does R have for Bayesian statistics?

Hi all, I would like to start to use R's MCMC abilities to compute answers in Bayesian statistics. I don't have any specific problems in mind yet, but I would like to be able to compute/sample posterior probabilities for low-dimensional custom models, as well as handle "standard" Bayesian cases like linear regression and hierarchical models. R clearly has a lot of abi...

I am trying to calculate Bayesian Credible Intervals for a proportion (disease prevalence values to be more specific) and am having trouble using R to do this. I am working with ncredint() function but have not had success with it. Please help! Example: Positive samples = 3 Total sampled = 10 Prevalence = 0.3 pvec <- seq(1,10...

HeLLo, I'm new in R, I would like to use it for diagnostics with bayesian network, I want to know how can I calculate inference and if can I enter my probability tables like logical or arithmetic equation, Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Bayesian-network-tp4662059.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dear Oscar,   Thanks for your help.It's so nice of you to explain this package to me.   Best Regards,   James LAN 发件人： Oscar Rueda [via R] <ml-node+s789695n4431468h14@n4.nabble.com> 收件人： monkeylan <lanjinchi@yahoo.com.cn> 发送日期： 2012年2月29日, 星期三, 下午 9:21 主题: Re: Bayesian Hidden Markov Models Dear James, The distances are normalized between zero and 1, so in your case all of them will be zero. You can check that with > res$Dist.for.model And do > Q.NH(summary(res)[[1]]$beta, x=0) To obtain the common transition matrix. Cheers, Oscar On 29/2/...

...f my graduate studies. All of the statistical packages I have used generally yield p-values as a default output to standard procedures. This week I have been reading "Testing Precise Hypotheses" by J.O. Berger & Mohan Delampady, Statistical Science, Vol. 2, No. 3, 317-355 and "Bayesian Analysis: A Look at Today and Thoughts of Tomorrow" by J.O. Berger, JASA, Vol. 95, No. 452, p. 1269 - 1276, both as supplements to my Math Stat. course. It appears, based on these articles, that p-values are more or less useless. If this is indeed the case, then why is a p-value typically gi...

Hello, I'm interested in doing Bayesian kriging using R. I see that the package geoR has a function that will allow one to do this (krige.bayes). However, my data are not in the form of points, but rather they are blocks that represent spatial averages (i.e., the number of fishing hooks per month in a given lat x long square). I a...

...can be complex (mainly ODEs, complex environmental models programmed in Fortran or C to be called by the system-function), I cannot use OpenBUGS or JAGS. MCMCmetrop1R samples from a multinormal distribution, but I would like to have the option to use priors (that's what I refer to as "Bayesian" here: sorry for irritating statisticians with this interpretation). HOW? What I did so far (in vain) to find the answer: I searched the R-help list (MCMC, Bayes) for suitable threads. I looked at all packages listed in R task view Bayesian (http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Bayesian.html...

.... Psychologie statistique avec R [Statistical psychology with R, in French], coll. PratiqueR, Paris: Springer. http://www.springer.com/psychology/book/978-2-8178-0424-8 This book provides a detailed presentation of all basics of statistical inference for psychologists, both in a fisherian and a bayesian approach. Although many authors have recently advocated for the use of bayesian statistics in psychology (Wagenmaker et al., 2010, 2011 ; Kruschke, 2010 ; Rouder et al., 2009) statistical manuals for psychologists barely mention them. This manual provides a full bayesian toolbox for commonly e...

Hi Friends, I'm trying to model the consumer decisions (Click-Through Rate and Conversion) in Search Engine Advertising using a hierarchical Bayesian binary logit. The input data is the weekly CTRs and Avg. Position for each search keyword. CTR is modeled as (for each keyword i and week j): Pij = exp(C + Bi x Positionij + A1 x Lengthi + A2 x Brandi + A3 x ProductSpecifici) / [1 + exp(C + Bi x Positionij + A1 x Lengthi + A2 x Brandi + A3 x Pr...
