Bill van Zwet’s contributions to his profession are, in their own way, comparable to his very substantial research, research supervision and teaching contributions. He had several leadership roles in professional societies, edited leading theoretic

Summary A bivariate and unimodal distribution is introduced to model an unconventionally distributed data set collected by the Forensic Science Service. This family of distributions allows for a different kurtosis in each orthogonal direction and has

Il est paradoxal, qu'alors que de plus en plus de donnees quantitatives deviennent couramment disponibles dans un monde percu comme toujours plus complexe, on reconnaisse de moins en moins directement le role et le pouvoir de la reflexion statistique

Summary Congdon argued that the use of parametric modelling of mortality data is necessary in many practical demographical problems. In this paper, we focus on a form of model introduced by Heligman and Pollard in 1980, and we adopt a Bayesian analys

We review two recent trends: the emergence of evidence-based medicine and the growing use of Bayesian statistics in medical applications. Evidence-based medicine requires an integrated assessment of the available evidence, and associated uncertainty,

Summary In recent years, Bayesian nonparametric inference, both theoretical and computational, has witnessed considerable advances. However, these advances have not received a full critical and comparative analysis of their scope, impact and limitati

Dawid (1973,Biometrika60, 664–666) stated conditions in the univariate location model with known scale parameter needed for there to be either vanishing likelihood or prior influence on the posterior distribution when there is a conflict between li

SUMMARY Malaria illness can be diagnosed by the presence of fever and parasitaemia. However, in highly endemic areas the diagnosis of clinical malaria can be difficult since children may tolerate parasites without fever and may have fever due to othe

Summary A method of estimating a variety of curves by a sequence of piecewise polynomials is proposed, motivated by a Bayesian model and an appropriate summary of the resulting posterior distribution. A joint distribution is set up over both the numb

A stochastic search form of classification and regression tree (CART) analysis (Breiman et al., 1984) is proposed, motivated by a Bayesian model. An approximation to a probability distribution over the space of possible trees is explored using revers
