Probabilistic Decision Trees for Predicting 12-Month University Students Likely to Experience Suicidal Ideation
Environmental stressors combined with a predisposition to experience mental health problems increase the risk for SI (Suicidal Ideation) among college/university students. However, university health and wellbe...

Open AccessEnsemble Kalman filter based sequential Monte Carlo sampler for sequential Bayesian inference
Many real-world problems require one to estimate parameters of interest, in a Bayesian framework, from data that are collected sequentially in time. Conventional methods for sampling from posterior distributio...
