Abstract: One method of solving inverse problems in the presence of random variations (noise) emphasizes the importance of prior knowledge and uses Thomas Bayes's theorem from statistics. We describe a data analysis problem from experimental nuclear physics, requiring analysis of the energy spectrum from a nuclear reaction. We show how to use Bayesian methods to analyze nuclear reaction spectra.

Stan : A Probabilistic Programming Language
Bob Carpenter,Andrew Gelman,Matthew D. Hoffman,Daniel D. Lee,Ben Goodrich,Michael Betancourt,Marcus A. Brubaker,Jiqiang Guo,Peter Li,Allen Riddell +9 more
TL;DR: Stan as discussed by the authors is a probabilistic programming language for specifying statistical models, where a program imperatively defines a log probability function over parameters conditioned on specified data and constants, which can be used in alternative algorithms such as variational Bayes, expectation propagation, and marginal inference using approximate integration.

TL;DR: The process of developing specific advice for the reporting of systematic reviews that incorporate network meta-analyses is described, and the guidance generated from this process is presented.
Approximate Bayesian inference for latent Gaussian models by using integrated nested Laplace approximations
TL;DR: This work considers approximate Bayesian inference in a popular subset of structured additive regression models, latent Gaussian models, where the latent field is Gaussian, controlled by a few hyperparameters and with non‐Gaussian response variables and can directly compute very accurate approximations to the posterior marginals.
Practical Bayesian model evaluation using leave-one-out cross-validation and WAIC
TL;DR: In this article, leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO) and the widely applicable information criterion (WAIC) are used to estimate pointwise out-of-sample prediction accuracy from a fitted Bayesian model using the log-likelihood evaluated at the posterior simulations of the parameter values.
Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Hospital Admission for Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases
Francesca Dominici,Roger D. Peng,Michelle L. Bell,Luu Pham,Aidan McDermott,Scott L. Zeger,Jonathan M. Samet +6 more
TL;DR: Short-term exposure to PM2.5 increases the risk for hospital admission for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and was higher in counties located in the Eastern region of the United States, which included the Northeast, the Southeast, the Midwest, and the South.
