Journal ArticleDOI

Bayesian Analysis: Using Prior Information to Interpret the Results of Clinical Trials.

TL;DR: The investigators used a Bayesian analysis of the treatment effect to ensure that a clinically useful result would be obtained even if traditional approaches for defining statistical significance were impractical.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incorporating model uncertainty in detecting rare variants: the Bayesian risk index.

TL;DR: This framework aims at constructing a risk index based on multiple rare variants within a region by using a Bayesian approach to incorporate model uncertainty in the selection of variants to include in the index as well as the direction of the associated effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrative variable selection via Bayesian model uncertainty.

TL;DR: An integrative Bayesian model uncertainty (iBMU) method, which formally incorporates multiple sources of data via a second‐stage probit model on the probability that any predictor is associated with the outcome of interest, is developed.
