Bayesian models represent an important class of models in cognitive science and neuroscience. The model components (prior, likelihood function, loss function) play important roles in understanding ...

We explore how quantum computation – a computing method based on the principles of quantum physics – could be applied to Bayesian inference – an approach to updating beliefs and making predictions ...

Replaces the standard Kelly Criterion's fixed win-probability assumption with a Beta-distributed posterior, generating a full distribution of recommended stakes — sized conservatively by evidence ...

Estimating parameters accurately becomes significantly more challenging when other, irrelevant parameters, known as nuisance parameters, are present, and this research addresses this fundamental ...

Statistical communication through data visualization is essential across diverse fields, including health, climate, science, education, and policymaking. Despite its widespread use, there is currently ...

This study explores the efficacy of Bayesian estimation in modeling the orientation and direction selectivity of neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1). Unlike traditional methods such as least ...

Sudden, hurricane-force winds toppled the luxury Bayesian superyacht that sank off the coast of Sicily last August, according to an interim report into the disaster, which found the boat had ...

An official report into last year’s yacht tragedy, which killed seven, found that the boat could easily capsize in high winds. Its towering mast made it more vulnerable. By Jeffrey Gettleman and James ...
