1. Consider experiments with the following censoring mechanism: A group of n units is observed from time 0; observation stops at the time of the rth failure or at time C, whatever occurs first. Show by direct calculation that the likelihood function is of the form L = Yn i=1 f(ti) δiS(ti+)1−δi , assuming that the units gave failure times which are i.i.d. with survivor function S(t) and p.d.f. f(t). (Hint: first define ti and δi .) 2. Suppose that T is a survival random variable with survival function S and cumulative hazard function H(t) = − log S(t). Show that H(T) ∼ exp(1). 3. Suppose that the lifetime Ti has hazard function hi(t) and that Ci is a random censoring time associated with Ti . Define λi(t) = lim ∆t→0 P(t ≤ Ti ≤ t + ∆t|Ti ≥ t, Ci ≥ t) ∆t (a) Show that if Ti is independent of Ci , hi(t) = λi(t). (b) Suppose that there exists an unobserved covariate Zi which affects both Ti and Ci , as follows: P(Ti ≥ t|Zi) = exp(−Ziθt), P(Ci ≥ t|Zi) = exp(−Ziρt), and Ti , Ci are independent, given Zi . Assume that Zi has a gamma distribution with density function g(z) = φ φ Γ(φ) z φ−1 e −φz(z > 0). Show that the joint survivor function for Ti , Ci is P(Ti ≥ t, Ci ≥ s) = 1 + 1 φ θt + 1 φ ρs−φ . 4. The lifetime of an article is thought to have an exponential distribution. Twelve such articles were selected at random and tested until nine of them failed. The nine observed failure times were 8, 14, 23, 32, 46, 57, 69, 88, 109. Assume that the data follow the exponential distribution. (a) Compute the maximum likelihood estimate of mean µ. (b) Compute the Fisher information for ˆµ. (c) Obtain a 90% confidence interval for µ by using the quantity Z = (ˆµ−µ)/se(ˆµ) where se(ˆµ) is the standard error for the estimate ˆµ. .

This document discusses continuous-time Markov chains and provides examples of different types of Markov chains including birth-death processes and pure birth processes. It introduces key concepts such as transition rates and the Kolmogorov differential equations. Specifically, it derives the Kolmogorov backward and forward equations, which describe the time evolution of the transition probabilities of a Markov chain. Examples are provided to illustrate how to apply these equations to different Markov chain models.
Sequential experimentation in clinical trials
This chapter discusses time-sequential clinical trial designs where the primary endpoint is survival time. It begins with an overview of survival analysis methodology, which must be extended to account for the sequential nature of interim analyses in time-sequential trials. The seminal Beta-Blocker Heart Attack Trial (BHAT) is described as an example of an early time-sequential trial. Key developments following BHAT include methods that account for two time scales: the information accumulated over time and calendar time of interim analyses. Nelson-Aalen and Kaplan-Meier estimators are also summarized as tools for survival analysis in time-sequential settings.
Notes on “bayesian implementation” by matthew jackson in econometrica (1991)
This document provides an overview and summary of the paper "Bayesian Implementation" by Matthew Jackson. It defines key concepts such as Bayesian Nash equilibrium, Bayesian implementability, incentive compatibility, and Bayesian monotonicity. It also presents two theorems: 1) If a social choice function is Bayesian implementable, there exists an equivalent social choice function that satisfies incentive compatibility and Bayesian monotonicity. 2) In economic environments with at least 3 agents, a social choice function is Bayesian implementable if and only if there exists an equivalent social choice function satisfying incentive compatibility and Bayesian monotonicity. The document provides proofs of these two theorems.
Bayesian inference for mixed-effects models driven by SDEs and other stochast...
An important, and well studied, class of stochastic models is given by stochastic differential equations (SDEs). In this talk, we consider Bayesian inference based on measurements from several individuals, to provide inference at the "population level" using mixed-effects modelling. We consider the case where dynamics are expressed via SDEs or other stochastic (Markovian) models. Stochastic differential equation mixed-effects models (SDEMEMs) are flexible hierarchical models that account for (i) the intrinsic random variability in the latent states dynamics, as well as (ii) the variability between individuals, and also (iii) account for measurement error. This flexibility gives rise to methodological and computational difficulties.
Fully Bayesian inference for nonlinear SDEMEMs is complicated by the typical intractability of the observed data likelihood which motivates the use of sampling-based approaches such as Markov chain Monte Carlo. A Gibbs sampler is proposed to target the marginal posterior of all parameters of interest. The algorithm is made computationally efficient through careful use of blocking strategies, particle filters (sequential Monte Carlo) and correlated pseudo-marginal approaches. The resulting methodology is is flexible, general and is able to deal with a large class of nonlinear SDEMEMs [1]. In a more recent work [2], we also explored ways to make inference even more scalable to an increasing number of individuals, while also dealing with state-space models driven by other stochastic dynamic models than SDEs, eg Markov jump processes and nonlinear solvers typically used in systems biology.

Notes on exact and approximate bayesian implementation
This document provides definitions and theorems related to exact and approximate Bayesian implementation of social choice functions. It introduces notation for agents, types, outcomes, utilities, and social choice functions. It then defines properties like incentive compatibility, Bayesian monotonicity, and Bayesian implementability. The main result is Theorem 1, which states that a social choice function is Bayesian implementable in mixed strategies if and only if there exists an equivalent function that satisfies incentive compatibility and mixed Bayesian monotonicity, under standard regularity conditions on the environment. A proposed direct mechanism is also described that would achieve exact Bayesian implementation.

Lecture_9.pdf
The document discusses Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for posterior simulation. MCMC methods generate dependent samples from the posterior distribution using iterative sampling algorithms like the Metropolis algorithm and Gibbs sampler. The Metropolis algorithm uses an accept-reject rule to propose new samples from a jumping distribution and either accepts or rejects them, while the Gibbs sampler directly samples from conditional posterior distributions one parameter at a time. Both algorithms are proven to converge to the true posterior distribution given enough iterations. The document provides details on how to implement the Metropolis and Gibbs sampling algorithms.
WCSB 2012
The document describes Bayesian inference for chemical reaction networks using approximate models. It discusses representing networks with reactions and rate constants, and using a Gibbs sampler to infer rate constants from time course data. However, exact inference does not scale well. The document proposes using a particle filter to perform approximate Bayesian filtering by simulating reaction paths between observations. This allows inference for realistic systems by treating concentrations continuously and using approximate simulators like SDEs or ODEs.

Phd Proposal
The document appears to be a Ph.D. proposal by Steven Hamblin that covers four chapters on foraging behavior and learning rules. Chapter 1 will discuss the evolution of learning rules for foraging. Chapter 2 will examine learning rules in more detail. Chapter 3 will consider the effects of landscape geometry on foraging. Chapter 4 will analyze predator-prey coevolution through changes in predator scrounging behavior and prey clumping habits. The proposal involves using genetic algorithms and foraging simulations to optimize learning rule parameters and population dynamics over time.
Survival analysis 1
This document discusses regression with frailty in survival analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model. It introduces survival analysis concepts like the hazard function and survival function. It then describes how to incorporate frailty, a random effect, into the Cox model to account for clustering in survival times. The Newton-Raphson method is used to estimate model parameters by maximizing the penalized partial likelihood. A simulation study applies this approach to data on infections in kidney patients.

This document presents a panel data binary response model with endogenous regressors and unobserved heterogeneity. It develops a control function approach to consistently estimate the model when regressors are endogenous. The identification strategy uses reduced form equations to construct control functions based on estimated residuals and expected values of individual effects. These control functions are then used to conditionally independence the structural errors from the endogenous regressors, allowing semiparametric identification and estimation of policy parameters like the average structural function. The document outlines the model specification, objectives, identification strategy based on control functions, and conditions required for semiparametric identification.

- It reduces to the inverse Weibull distribution when the shape parameter γ equals 1.
- Its probability density function, survival function, and hazard function are defined.
- Formulas are provided for the moments, moment generating function, and Shannon entropy of the GIW distribution.
- Methods are described for maximum likelihood estimation of the GIW distribution parameters from censored lifetime data.
The tau-leap method for simulating stochastic kinetic models
This document discusses approximate methods for simulating chemically reacting systems stochastically in a more computationally efficient manner than the direct method. It introduces the τ-leap method, where reactions are simulated in fixed time intervals (τ) by assuming reaction rates are constant over τ. It describes how τ can be chosen to satisfy a "leap condition" and minimize errors. The midpoint estimation technique is introduced to further reduce errors by estimating propensities at the midpoint of each τ interval. Examples applying these methods to a Lotka-Volterra system are provided to illustrate the techniques.

The document describes the error correction model (ECM) version of Granger causality testing for determining the causal relationship between two non-stationary time series variables. It involves first testing for cointegration between the variables using the Johansen test or Engle-Granger approach. If cointegrated, the ECM version estimates an error correction model and performs Granger causality tests to examine short-run, long-run, and strong causality. The procedure and hypotheses for each test are provided along with the method for calculating the relevant F-statistics.

This document summarizes a lecture on Poisson regression for count data. It begins with an introduction to the Poisson distribution and its properties. It then discusses the framework of Poisson regression, using a log link function to model the Poisson parameter as a function of covariates. An example using elephant mating data is analyzed using Poisson regression. Model fitting, interpretation of coefficients, and obtaining fitted values are demonstrated. Finally, issues like overdispersion and zero-inflated models are discussed.

Generating survival data with a clustered and multi-state structure is useful to study Multi-State
Models, Competing Risks Models and Frailty Models. The simulation of such kind of data
is not straightforward as one needs to introduce dependence between times of different transitions
while taking under control the probability of each competing event, the median sojourn time in
each state, the effect of covariates and the type and magnitude of heterogeneity.
Here we propose a simulation procedure based on Clayton copulas for the joint distribution
of times of each competing events block. It allows to specify the marginal distributions of time
variables, while their dependence is induced by the copula. Furthermore, even though a dependence
is obtained between all the time variables, only some joint distributions have to be handled.
The choice of simulation parameters is done by numerical minimization of a criterion function
based on the ratio of target and observed values of median times and of probabilities of competing
events.
The proposed method further allows to simulate discrete and continuous covariates and to
specify their effect on each transition in a proportional hazards way. A frailty term can be added,
too, in order to provide clustering. No particular restriction is needed on covariates distributions,
frailty distribution, number and sizes of clusters.
An example is provided simulating data mimicking those from an Italian multi-center study
on head and neck cancer. The multi-state structure of these data arises from the interest in
studying both time to local relapses and to distant metastases before death.
We show that our proposed method reaches very good convergence to the target values.
Chapter2: Likelihood-based approach
This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 2 of a book on statistical methods for handling incomplete data. It introduces the likelihood-based approach and defines key terms like the likelihood function, maximum likelihood estimator, Fisher information, and missing at random. The chapter also provides examples of observed likelihood functions for censored regression and survival analysis models with missing data.
EM algorithm and its application in probabilistic latent semantic analysis
The document discusses the EM algorithm and its application in Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA). It begins by introducing the parameter estimation problem and comparing frequentist and Bayesian approaches. It then describes the EM algorithm, which iteratively computes lower bounds to the log-likelihood function. Finally, it applies the EM algorithm to pLSA by modeling documents and words as arising from a mixture of latent topics.

This document discusses blended dynamics theorem and its applications for networked dynamic systems. It begins by introducing blended dynamics theorem, which states that under strong coupling, heterogeneous multi-agent systems will converge to the behavior of the blended dynamics. Several examples of applying blended dynamics to problems are then presented, including economic power dispatch for smart grids, network size estimation, and distributed control of multi-channel plants.

Runtime Analysis of Population-based Evolutionary Algorithms
Populations are at the heart of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). They provide the genetic variation which selection acts upon. A complete picture of EAs can
only be obtained if we understand their population dynamics. A rich theory on runtime analysis (also called time-complexity analysis) of EAs has been
developed over the last 20 years. The goal of this theory is to show, via rigorous mathematical means, how the performance of EAs depends on their
parameter settings and the characteristics of the underlying fitness landscapes. Initially, runtime analysis of EAs was mostly restricted to
simplified EAs that do not employ large populations, such as the (1+1) EA. This tutorial introduces more recent techniques that enable runtime
analysis of EAs with realistic population sizes.
The tutorial begins with a brief overview of the population‐based EAs that are covered by the techniques. We recall the common stochastic selection
mechanisms and how to measure the selection pressure they induce. The main part of the tutorial covers in detail widely applicable techniques tailored to
the analysis of populations.
To illustrate how these techniques can be applied, we consider several fundamental questions: When are populations necessary for efficient
optimisation with EAs? What is the appropriate balance between exploration and exploitation and how does this depend on relationships between mutation and
selection rates? What determines an EA's tolerance for uncertainty, e.g. in form of noisy or partially available fitness?

The document describes the error correction model (ECM) version of Granger causality testing for determining the causal relationship between two non-stationary time series variables. It involves first testing for cointegration between the variables using the Johansen test or Engle-Granger approach. If cointegrated, the ECM version estimates an error correction model and performs Granger causality tests to examine short-run, long-run, and strong causality. The procedure and hypotheses for each test are provided along with the method for calculating the relevant F-statistics.
9_Poisson_printable.pdf
This document summarizes a lecture on Poisson regression for count data. It begins with an introduction to the Poisson distribution and its properties. It then discusses the framework of Poisson regression, using a log link function to model the Poisson parameter as a function of covariates. An example using elephant mating data is analyzed using Poisson regression. Model fitting, interpretation of coefficients, and obtaining fitted values are demonstrated. Finally, issues like overdispersion and zero-inflated models are discussed.
Can we estimate a constant?
This document discusses various methods for estimating normalizing constants that arise when evaluating integrals numerically. It begins by noting there are many computational methods for approximating normalizing constants across different communities. It then lists the topics that will be covered in the upcoming workshop, including discussions on estimating constants using Monte Carlo methods and Bayesian versus frequentist approaches. The document provides examples of estimating normalizing constants using Monte Carlo integration, reverse logistic regression, and Xiao-Li Meng's maximum likelihood estimation approach. It concludes by discussing some of the challenges in bringing a statistical framework to constant estimation problems.

Generating survival data with a clustered and multi-state structure is useful to study Multi-State
Models, Competing Risks Models and Frailty Models. The simulation of such kind of data
is not straightforward as one needs to introduce dependence between times of different transitions
while taking under control the probability of each competing event, the median sojourn time in
each state, the effect of covariates and the type and magnitude of heterogeneity.
Here we propose a simulation procedure based on Clayton copulas for the joint distribution
of times of each competing events block. It allows to specify the marginal distributions of time
variables, while their dependence is induced by the copula. Furthermore, even though a dependence
is obtained between all the time variables, only some joint distributions have to be handled.
The choice of simulation parameters is done by numerical minimization of a criterion function
based on the ratio of target and observed values of median times and of probabilities of competing
events.
The proposed method further allows to simulate discrete and continuous covariates and to
specify their effect on each transition in a proportional hazards way. A frailty term can be added,
too, in order to provide clustering. No particular restriction is needed on covariates distributions,
frailty distribution, number and sizes of clusters.
An example is provided simulating data mimicking those from an Italian multi-center study
on head and neck cancer. The multi-state structure of these data arises from the interest in
studying both time to local relapses and to distant metastases before death.
We show that our proposed method reaches very good convergence to the target values.
Chapter2: Likelihood-based approach
This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 2 of a book on statistical methods for handling incomplete data. It introduces the likelihood-based approach and defines key terms like the likelihood function, maximum likelihood estimator, Fisher information, and missing at random. The chapter also provides examples of observed likelihood functions for censored regression and survival analysis models with missing data.
EM algorithm and its application in probabilistic latent semantic analysis
The document discusses the EM algorithm and its application in Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA). It begins by introducing the parameter estimation problem and comparing frequentist and Bayesian approaches. It then describes the EM algorithm, which iteratively computes lower bounds to the log-likelihood function. Finally, it applies the EM algorithm to pLSA by modeling documents and words as arising from a mixture of latent topics.

Icros2021 handout
This document discusses blended dynamics theorem and its applications for networked dynamic systems. It begins by introducing blended dynamics theorem, which states that under strong coupling, heterogeneous multi-agent systems will converge to the behavior of the blended dynamics. Several examples of applying blended dynamics to problems are then presented, including economic power dispatch for smart grids, network size estimation, and distributed control of multi-channel plants. The document discusses how blended dynamics allows for distributed operation, decentralized design, and plug-and-play capabilities in multi-agent systems.
Runtime Analysis of Population-based Evolutionary Algorithms
Populations are at the heart of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). They provide the genetic variation which selection acts upon. A complete picture of EAs can
only be obtained if we understand their population dynamics. A rich theory on runtime analysis (also called time-complexity analysis) of EAs has been
developed over the last 20 years. The goal of this theory is to show, via rigorous mathematical means, how the performance of EAs depends on their
parameter settings and the characteristics of the underlying fitness landscapes. Initially, runtime analysis of EAs was mostly restricted to
simplified EAs that do not employ large populations, such as the (1+1) EA. This tutorial introduces more recent techniques that enable runtime
analysis of EAs with realistic population sizes.
The tutorial begins with a brief overview of the population‐based EAs that are covered by the techniques. We recall the common stochastic selection
mechanisms and how to measure the selection pressure they induce. The main part of the tutorial covers in detail widely applicable techniques tailored to
the analysis of populations.
To illustrate how these techniques can be applied, we consider several fundamental questions: When are populations necessary for efficient
optimisation with EAs? What is the appropriate balance between exploration and exploitation and how does this depend on relationships between mutation and
selection rates? What determines an EA's tolerance for uncertainty, e.g. in form of noisy or partially available fitness?

These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

1. Consider experiments with the following censoring mechanism A gr.docx
- 1. 1. Consider experiments with the following censoring mechanism: A group of n units is observed from time 0; observation stops at the time of the rth failure or at time C, whatever occurs first. Show by direct calculation that the likelihood function is of the form L = Yn i=1 f(ti) δiS(ti+)1−δi , assuming that the units gave failure times which are i.i.d. with survivor function S(t) and p.d.f. f(t). (Hint: first define ti and δi .) 2. Suppose that T is a survival random variable with survival function S and cumulative hazard function H(t) = − log S(t). Show that H(T) ∼ exp(1). 3. Suppose that the lifetime Ti has hazard function hi(t) and that Ci is a random censoring time associated with Ti . Define λi(t) = lim ∆t→0 P(t ≤ Ti ≤ t + ∆t|Ti ≥ t, Ci ≥ t) ∆t (a) Show that if Ti is independent of Ci , hi(t) = λi(t). (b) Suppose that there exists an unobserved covariate Zi which affects both Ti and Ci , as follows: P(Ti ≥ t|Zi) = exp(−Ziθt), P(Ci ≥ t|Zi) = exp(−Ziρt), and Ti , Ci are independent, given Zi . Assume that Zi has a gamma distribution with density function g(z) = φ φ Γ(φ) z φ−1 e −φz(z > 0). Show that the joint survivor function for Ti , Ci is P(Ti ≥ t, Ci ≥ s) = 1 + 1 φ θt + 1 φ ρs−φ . 4. The lifetime of an article is thought to have an exponential distribution. Twelve such articles were selected at random and tested until nine of them failed. The nine observed failure times were 8, 14, 23, 32, 46, 57, 69, 88, 109. Assume that the data follow the exponential distribution. (a) Compute the maximum likelihood estimate of mean µ. (b) Compute the Fisher information for ˆµ. (c) Obtain a 90% confidence interval for µ
- 2. by using the quantity Z = (ˆµ−µ)/se(ˆµ) where se(ˆµ) is the standard error for the estimate ˆµ.
