Bayesian Analysis of Survival Models with (2003)

Ph. D, Purushottam W. Laud, Paul Damien, Stephen G. Walker

This paper develops a non/semi-parametric Bayesian analysis of bathtub shaped hazard rates given different types of censored data. Computations are rendered straightforward based on a new stochastic...

Characterizations, stochastic equations, and the Gibbs sampler (1999)

Walker, Stephen, Damien, Paul

We obtain characterizations of densities on the real line and provide solutions to stochastic equations using the Gibbs sampler. Particular stochastic equations considered are of the type X =d B(X+C)...

A Bayesian Bivariate Failure Time Regression Model (1994)

Paul Damien, Peter M Uller

In this paper, we model bivariate failure time data under the assumption that the two random quantities corresponding to each of the failure times are dependent. We extend the analysis from a...

Conjugacy class prior distributions on metric-based ranking models

Jayanti Gupta, Paul Damien

A new class of prior distributions for metric-based models in the analysis of fully and partially ranked data is developed. This class is attractive because it provides a meaningful way to...

Computations via Auxiliary Random Functions for Survival Models

PURUSHOTTAM W. LAUD, PAUL DAMIEN, STEPHEN G. WALKER

A new simulation method, "auxiliary random functions" is introduced. When used within a Gibbs sampler, this method enables a unified treatment of exact, right-censored, left-censored, left-truncated...
