Bayesian Nonparametrics and Biostatistics: The Case of PET Imaging
1Laboratoire de mathematiques analyse probabilites modelisation d'Orleans, Orleans45067, France.
Abstract:
Biostatistic applications often require to collect and analyze a massive amount of data. Hence, it has become necessary to consider new statistical paradigms that perform well in characterizing complex data. Nonparametric Bayesian methods provide a widely used framework that offers the key advantages of a fully model-based probabilistic framework, while being highly flexible and adaptable. The goal of this paper is to provide a motivation of Bayesian nonparametrics (BNP) through a particular biomedical application, namely Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging reconstruction.

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance,...
