Example 2: Parameter Estimation and Probabilistic Inference
Azevedo-Filho and Shachter (1994) reviews Laplace's method results (univariate and multivariate) and presents a detailed example showing the method used in parameter estimation and probabilistic inference under a bayesian perspective. Laplace's method is applied to a meta-analysis problem from the medical domain, involving experimental data, and compared to other techniques. (Azevedo-Filho & Shachter 1994)

Famous quotes containing the words estimation and/or inference:
“... it would be impossible for women to stand in higher estimation than they do here. The deference that is paid to them at all times and in all places has often occasioned me as much surprise as pleasure.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“I shouldn’t want you to be surprised, or to draw any particular inference from my making speeches, or not making speeches, out there. I don’t recall any candidate for President that ever injured himself very much by not talking.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
