We aim at modelling the appearance of distinct tags in a sequence of labelled objects. Common examples of this type of data include words in a corpus or distinct species in a sample. These sequential discoveries are often summarised via accumulation curves, which count the number of distinct entities observed in an increasingly large set of objects. We propose a novel Bayesian method for species sampling modelling by directly specifying the probability of a new discovery, therefore allowing for flexible specifications. The asymptotic behavior and finite sample properties of such an approach are extensively studied. Interestingly, our enlarged class of sequential processes includes highly tractable special cases. We present a subclass of models characterized by appealing theoretical and computational properties, including one that shares the same discovery probability with the Dirichlet process. Moreover, due to strong connections with logistic regression models, the latter subclass can naturally account for covariates. We finally test our proposal on both synthetic and real data, with special emphasis on a large fungal biodiversity study in Finland.

Eight Simple Guidelines for Improved Understanding of Transformations and Nonlinear Effects
Rönkkö, Mikko; Aalto, Eero; Tenhunen, Henni; Aguirre-Urreta, Miguel I. (SAGE Publications, 2022)Transforming variables before analysis or applying a transformation as a part of a generalized linear model are common practices in organizational research. Several methodological articles addressing the topic, either ... -
Efficient Bayesian generalized linear models with time-varying coefficients : The walker package in R
Helske, Jouni (Elsevier BV, 2022)The R package walker extends standard Bayesian general linear models to the case where the effects of the explanatory variables can vary in time. This allows, for example, to model the effects of interventions such as ... -
Calibrating Expert Assessments Using Hierarchical Gaussian Process Models
Perälä, Tommi; Vanhatalo, Jarno; Chrysafi, Anna (International Society for Bayesian Analysis, 2020)Expert assessments are routinely used to inform management and other decision making. However, often these assessments contain considerable biases and uncertainties for which reason they should be calibrated if possible. ... -
Hierarchical log Gaussian Cox process for regeneration in uneven-aged forests
Kuronen, Mikko; Särkkä, Aila; Vihola, Matti; Myllymäki, Mari (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)We propose a hierarchical log Gaussian Cox process (LGCP) for point patterns, where a set of points xx affects another set of points yy but not vice versa. We use the model to investigate the effect of large trees on the ... -
Bayesian subcohort selection for longitudinal covariate measurements in follow‐up studies
Reinikainen, Jaakko; Karvanen, Juha (Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)We propose an approach for the planning of longitudinal covariate measurements in follow-up studies where covariates are time-varying. We assume that the entire cohort cannot be selected for longitudinal measurements due ...
