Starting with a carefully formulated Dirichlet process (DP) mixture model, we derive a generalized product partition model (GPPM) in which the partition process is predictor-dependent. The GPPM generalizes DP clustering to relax the exchangeability assumption through the incorporation of...

This article considers a methodology for flexibly characterizing the relationship between a response and multiple predictors. Goals are (1) to estimate the conditional response distribution addressing the distributional changes across the predictor space, and (2) to identify important predictors...

As the popularity of social networks expands, the information users expose to the public has potentially dangerous implications for individual privacy. While social networks allow users to restrict access to their personal data, there is currently no mechanism to enforce privacy concerns over...

This paper highlights how the provision of information about userparticipation can serve as a strategic marketing tool for firms seekingto grow two-sided exchange networks. A two-sided exchange network is abusiness model (such as Ebay or Craiglist) where revenue is generatedfrom persuading...

The techniques of simple random sampling are seldom appropriate in the empirical analysis of income distributions. Various types of weighting schemes are usually required either from the point of view of welfare-economic considerations (the mapping of household/family distributions into...

In this paper we consider the problem of inference on a class of sets describing a collection of admissible models as … especially appealing in the target applications. Moreover, the resulting inference procedures are also more powerful than the …
