Posterior predictive p-values are a common approach to Bayesian model-checking. This article analyses their frequency behaviour, that is, their distribution when the parameters and the data are drawn from the prior and the model…
In a Bayesian learning setting, the posterior distribution of a predictive model arises from a trade-off between its prior distribution and the conditional likelihood of observed data. Such distribution functions usually rely on additional…
A great deal of effort has been spent measuring topological features of the Internet. However, it was recently argued that sampling based on taking paths or traceroutes through the network from a small number of sources introduces a…
