POSTERIOR PREDICTIVE ASSESSMENT OF MODEL FITNESS VIA REALIZED DISCREPANCIES
This paper considers Bayesian counterparts of the classical tests for good- ness of fit and their use in judging the fit of a single Bayesian model to the observed data. We focus on posterior… Expand

Comparing correlated correlation coefficients
The purpose of this article is to provide simple but accurate methods for comparing correlation coefficients between a dependent variable and a set of independent variables. The methods are simple… Expand

Maximum likelihood estimation via the ECM algorithm: A general framework
Two major reasons for the popularity of the EM algorithm are that its maximum step involves only complete-data maximum likelihood estimation, which is often computationally simple, and that its… Expand

Simulating Normalizing Constants: From Importance Sampling to Bridge Sampling to Path Sampling
Computing (ratios of) normalizing constants of probability models is a fundamental computational problem for many statistical and scientific studies. Monte Carlo simulation is an effective technique,… Expand

Modeling covariance matrices in terms of standard deviations and correlations, with application to shrinkage
The covariance matrix plays an important role in statistical inference, yet modeling a covariance matrix is often a difficult task in practice due to its dimensionality and the non-negative definite… Expand

SIMULATING RATIOS OF NORMALIZING CONSTANTS VIA A SIMPLE IDENTITY: A THEORETICAL EXPLORATION
Let pi(w) ,i =1 , 2, be two densities with common support where each density is known up to a normalizing constant: pi(w )= qi(w)/ci .W e have draws from each density (e.g., via Markov chain Monte… Expand
