Semi-supervised classification can help to improve generative classifiers by taking into account the information provided by the unlabeled data points, especially when there are far more unlabeled data than labeled data. The aim is to select a generative classification model using both unlabeled...

Missing variable models are typical benchmarks for new computational techniques in that the ill-posed nature of missing variable models offer a challenging testing ground for these techniques. This was the case for the EM algorithm and the Gibbs sampler, and this is also true for importance...

We propose a global noninformative approach for Bayesian variable selection that builds on Zellner's g-priors and is similar to Liang et al. (2008). Our proposal does not require any kind of calibration. In the case of a benchmark, we compare Bayesian and frequentist regularization approaches...

In the uncertainty treatment framework considered, the intrinsic variability of the inputs of a physical simulation model is modelled by a multivariate probability distribution. The objective is to identify this probability distribution-the dispersion of which is independent of the sample size...
