Shaping up? Three acts of education studies as textual critique (2006)
McDougall, Julian, Walker, Stephen, Kendall, Alex
This paper presents a study of dominant educational discourses through textual critique and argues that such an approach enables education studies to preserve an important distinction from teacher...
New approaches to Bayesian consistency (2005)
We use martingales to study Bayesian consistency. We derive sufficient conditions for both Hellinger and Kullback-Leibler consistency, which do not rely on the use of a sieve. Alternative sufficient...
New approaches to Bayesian consistency (2004)
We use martingales to study Bayesian consistency. We derive sufficient conditions for both Hellinger and Kullback–Leibler consistency, which do not rely on the use of a sieve. Alternative...

Augmented And Double Slice Sampling (2001)
We present a generalisation of the standard well known and widely used Metropolis-Hastings algorithm which, unlike the Metropolis-Hastings sampler, can mix well over a target distribution which has...

Characterizations, stochastic equations, and the Gibbs sampler (1999)
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)...
Muliere, Pietro, Walker, Stephen
In this paper we present a new characterization and perspective on a neutral to the right prior. This characterization is based on a sequence of predictive laws which provides explicitly the...
Best Practices for Medical Technology Management: A U.S. Air Force-ECRI Collaboration (1998)
Keller, James P., Jr., Walker, Stephen
For more than 25 years, the U.S. Air Force has contracted ECRI, an independent and nonprofit health services research agency, to disseminate patient safety medical device information to key staff at...
Neutral to the Right Processes from a Predictive Perspective: A Review and New Developments (1997)
Pietro Muliere, Stephen Walker, Giovanni Dosi
This paper presents a Bayesian nonparametric approach to survival analysis based on arbitrarly right censored data. The first aim will be to show that the neutral to the right process is the natural...
Beta-Stacy processes and a generalization of the Pólya-urn scheme (1997)
Walker, Stephen, Muliere, Pietro
A random cumulative distribution function (cdf) F on $[0, \infty)$ from a beta-Stacy process is defined. It is shown to be neutral to the right and a generalization of the Dirichlet process. The...

The uniform power distribution
This paper introduces a generalization of the normal distribution: the uniform power distribution. It is a symmetric and unimodal family of distributions, defined on the real line, and is closely...
Philanthropic women and accounting. Octavia Hill and the exercise of 'quiet power and sympathy’
Philanthropic work involved large numbers of middle-class women in the performance of accounting functions during the nineteenth century. This hitherto 'hidden’ group of women...
