  • SciPy distribution for the odds ratio of independent beta variables

    07 October 2022 | mathematics statistics python | Comment

    In biostatistics, a common effect measure when considering dichotomous exposures and outcomes is the odds ratio. With two proportions $π_0$ and $π_1$, the odds ratio is $ψ = \frac{π_1 / (1 - π_1)}{π_0 / (1 - π_0)}$, as compared to the risk ratio,… »

  • Directly computing HDIs from PDFs in SciPy

    06 October 2022 | mathematics statistics python | Comment

    In Bayesian inference, it is often desired to calculate credible intervals for model parameters. The 2 common choices are the highest posterior density interval (HPD/HDI), and the equal-tailed interval. In many cases, the posterior density must be estimated by simulation, but in some cases the… »

  • Beta ratio distribution for SciPy

    05 October 2022 | mathematics statistics programming python | Comment

    The quotient of 2 independent beta-distributed random variables has a known distribution, but its closed-form expression is a little hairy [1, 2]. One Python implementation of this distribution is available from Julian Saffer [3], but it suffers from some numerical issues… »

  • Bayesian biostatistics procedures matching frequentist confidence intervals

    03 October 2022 (updated 15 March 2023) | mathematics statistics | Comment

    Confidence intervals are commonly misinterpreted as there being, after observing the data, a 95% probability that the true parameter lies within the confidence interval. The usual explanation why this is incorrect is that the true parameter is not random, and so is either inside or… »
