Analyzing small data sets using Bayesian estimation the case of posttraumatic stress symptoms following mechanical ventilation in burn survivors

Van de Schoot, Rens; Broere, Joris J.; Perryck, Koen H.; Zondervan-Zwijnenburg, Mariëlle; Van Loey, Nancy E. (Co–action Publishing, 2015)

Background: The analysis of small data sets in longitudinal studies can lead to power issues and often suffers from biased parameter values. These issues can be solved by using Bayesian estimation in conjunction with ...
Bootstrap maximum likelihood for quasi-stationary distributions

Guo, Guangbao; Allison, James; Zhu, Lixing (Taylor & Francis, 2018)

Quasi-stationary distributions have many applications in diverse research fields. We develop a bootstrap-based maximum likelihood (BML) method to deal with quasi-stationary distributions in statistical inference. To ...
Classification in high dimensional feature spaces

Van Dyk, Hendrik Oostewald (North-West University, 2009)

In this dissertation we developed theoretical models to analyse Gaussian and multinomial distributions. The analysis is focused on classification in high dimensional feature spaces and provides a basis for dealing with ...
