Bayesian analysis of capture-recapture model and diagnostic test in clinical trials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Capture-recapture models have been widely used to estimate the size of a target wildlife population. There are three major sources of variations that ... -
Bayesian spatial analysis with application to the Missouri Ozark Forest ecosystem project
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Bayesian hierarchical framework brings more flexibility by accounting for variation from different levels and improves the estimation of parameters ... -
Bayesian spatial data analysis with application to the Missouri Ozark forest ecosystem project
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The first part studies the problem of estimating the covariance matrix in a star-shaped model with missing data. By introducing a class of priors based on a type of Cholesky decomposition of the precision matrix, we then ... -
Bayesian spatial models for adjusting nonresponse in small area estimation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] There are two kinds of nonresponse: item nonresponse and unit nonresponse. Inferences made from respondents about the population of interest will be ...
