A Bayesian truth serum for subjective data (pdf)
october 2008 by stuhlmueller
A scoring method for eliciting truthful subjective data in situations where objective truth is unknowable. The method assigns high scores not to the most common answers but to the answers that are more common than collectively predicted.

Some history of the hierarchical Bayesian methodology
september 2008 by stuhlmueller
"I think the predominant philosophy [in the mid of the 21st century] will be a Bayes/non-Bayes synthesis or compromise, and that the Bayesian part will be mostly hierarchical." -- I. J. Good, 1980!

Dirichlet Processes, Chinese Restaurant Processes, and all that
september 2008 by stuhlmueller
On nonparametric Bayesian modeling and inference, including various versions of "Chinese restaurant process priors" that allow flexible structures to be learned and that allow sharing of statistical strength among sets of related structures.

Dempster-Shafer theory
september 2008 by stuhlmueller
A generalization of the Bayesian theory of subjective probability which does not require exact probabilities for each question of interest; can yield answers which contradict those arrived at using probability theory.

On Universal Prediction and Bayesian Confirmation (Marcus Hutter)
june 2008 by stuhlmueller
Universal prediction, i.e. Bayesian framework + Solomonoff prior + model class of all computable sequences, solves/avoids foundational problems of inductive inference, but has to be compromised in practice.

Optimal Predictions in Everyday Cognition (pdf)

The Importance of Saying "Oops" (Overcoming Bias)
august 2007 by stuhlmueller
Not every change is an improvement, but every improvement is necessarily a change. If we only admit small local errors, we will only make small local changes. We could move so much faster.

Two envelopes problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
march 2007 by stuhlmueller
The two envelopes problem is a puzzle or paradox within the subjectivistic interpretation of probability theory; more specifically within Bayesian decision theory. This is still an open problem among the subjectivists as no consensus has been reached yet.

Cox's theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
march 2007 by stuhlmueller
One of the justifications for the use of Bayesian probability theory. Probability is interpreted as a formal system of logic, the natural extension of Aristotelian logic into the realm of reasoning in the presence of uncertainty.
