"Achievement Rank Affects Perfomance and Major Choices in College" abstract We study how students' performance and educational choices are affected by their relative academic ability among direct peers.

Modelling Preference Data with the Wallenius Distribution The Wallenius distribution is a generalisation of the Hypergeometric distribution where weights are assigned to balls of different colours. This naturally defines a model for ranking categories which can be used for classification purposes. Since, in general, the resulting likelihood is not analytically available, we adopt an approximate…

Latent Branching Trees: Modelling and Bayesian Computation. In this talk a novel class of semi-parametric time series models will bepresented, for which we can specify in advance the marginal distributionof the observations and then build the dependence structure of theobservations around them by introducing an underlying stochastic processtermed as 'latent branching tree'. It will be…

Estimating the mean response in a missing data model We study semiparametric Bayesian estimation of the mean response in a binary regression model with missing observations. We allow some dependence between the missingness and response mechanisms, which we assume are conditionally independent given some measured covariates (i.e. unconfoundedness). This model has applications in biostatistics and…
