Can Bayesian, confidence distribution and frequentist inference agree?

E Ruli, L Ventura - Statistical Methods & Applications, 2021 - Springer
We discuss and characterise connections between frequentist, confidence distribution and
objective Bayesian inference, when considering higher-order asymptotics, matching priors …

[HTML][HTML] On approximate robust confidence distributions

E Bortolato, L Ventura - Econometrics and Statistics, 2023 - Elsevier
A confidence distribution is a complete tool for making frequentist inference for a parameter
of interest based on an assumed parametric model. Indeed, it provides point estimates …

Pseudo-likelihoods for Bayesian inference

L Ventura, W Racugno - Topics on methodological and applied statistical …, 2016 - Springer
The interplay between Bayesian and frequentist inference can play a remarkable role in
order to address some theoretical and computational drawbacks, due to the complexity or …

Objective Priors for Invariant e-Values in the Presence of Nuisance Parameters

E Bortolato, L Ventura - Entropy, 2024 - mdpi.com
This paper aims to contribute to refining the e-values for testing precise hypotheses,

Approximate Bayesian computation with modified log-likelihood ratios

L Ventura, N Reid - Metron, 2014 - Springer
The aim of this contribution is to discuss approximate Bayesian computation based on the
asymptotic theory of modified likelihood roots and log-likelihood ratios. Results on third …

Marginal posterior simulation via higher-order tail area approximations

E Ruli, N Sartori, L Ventura - 2014 - projecteuclid.org
A new method for posterior simulation is proposed, based on the combination of higher-
order asymptotic results with the inverse transform sampler. This method can be used to …

Higher order asymptotic computation of Bayesian significance tests for precise null hypotheses in the presence of nuisance parameters

S Cabras, W Racugno, L Ventura - Journal of Statistical …, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
The full Bayesian significance test (FBST) was introduced by Pereira and Stern for
measuring the evidence of a precise null hypothesis. The FBST requires both numerical …

A note on approximate Bayesian credible sets based on modified loglikelihood ratios

L Ventura, E Ruli, W Racugno - Statistics & Probability Letters, 2013 - Elsevier
Higher-order asymptotic arguments for a scalar parameter of interest have been widely
investigated for Bayesian inference. In this paper the theory of asymptotic expansions is …

Advancements in Distribution Sampling for Statistical Inference

E Bortolato - 2024 - research.unipd.it
The process of inference in a parametric statistical model involves assessing the uncertainty
of the surrounding parameters based on an observed sample. Often, the lack of analytical …
