A standard technique for understanding underlying dependency structures among a set of variables posits a shared conditional probability distribution for the variables measured on individ-uals within a group. This app...

Approximate inference methods like the Laplace method, Laplace approximations and variational methods, amongst others, are popular methods when exact inference is not feasible due to the complexity of the model or the abundance of data. In this paper we propose a hybrid approximate method called Low-Rank Variational Bayes correction (VBC), that uses the Laplace method and subsequently a Variational Bayes correction in a lower dimension, to the joint posterior mean. The cost is essentially that of the Laplace method which ensures scalability of the method, in both model complexity and data size. Models with fixed and unknown hyperparameters are considered, for simulated and real examples, for small and large data sets.
In this paper, we propose generalizations of the EI index to quantify the distinction between intragroup and intergroup connections in social networks. These generalizations enable the analysis of interactions between...

The induced polarization response of an environment presenting cylindrical layers was obtained. The fractal model for complex resistivity was employed as an intrinsic property of the polarizable layers. The influence of the model fractal parameters on the electromagnetic response was investigated. The results demonstrated that the fractal parameters dominate the apparent resistivity phase response;measurements of the induced polarization data allow for the determination of the fractal properties of the environment without noticeable electromagnetic coupling effects at frequencies below 104 Hz.
We introduce a bootstrap procedure to test the hypothesis Ho that K +1 variances are homogeneous. The procedure uses a variance-based statistic, and is derived from a normal-theory test for equality of variances. The ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of characterizing a robust global dependence between two brain regions where each region may contain several voxels or channels. This work is driven by experiments to investigate...
