Non-parametric Bayesian Analysis
On the internet there is a host of sites that describe the mathematics of Dirichlet processes, but very few of them try to explain the ideas behind the algebra. Dirichlet process methods are very important for modern Bayesian analysis and raise a number of interesting programming issues when they are to be implemented in Stata, […]
Why I don’t use WinBUGS priors
In the WinBUGS help system there are a number of worked examples that have been very influential in shaping the way that people perform Bayesian analysis. Those examples use very vague priors, such as a normal distribution with a mean of zero and standard deviation of a thousand. Many people have learned to use Bayesian […]
Welcome to Bayesian Analysis with Stata
Welcome, this is a new blog set up to discuss the use of Stata for conducting Bayesian statistical analyses. I have started it to coincide with the publication of my book entitled ‘Bayesian Analysis with Stata’, which will appear shortly. This project started many years ago when I needed to integrate Stata with WinBUGS, a free […]
