Estimating Suicide Occurrence Statistics Using Google Trends

Kristoufek, Ladislav - 2017

Data on the number of people who have committed suicide tends to be reported with a substantial time lag of around two years. We examine whether online activity measured by Google searches can help us improve estimates of the number of suicide occurrences in England before official figures are...

Bayesian Covariance Matrix Estimation Using a Mixture of Decomposable Graphical Models

Armstrong, Helen; Carter, Chris K.; Wong, Kevin; Kohn, … - 2008

A Bayesian approach is used to estimate the covariance matrix of Gaussian data. Ideas from Gaussian graphical models and model selection are used to construct a prior for the covariance matrix that is a mixture over all decomposable graphs. For this prior the probability of each graph size is...
