Topics range from basic, but often misunderstood, such as uncertainty and <jats:italic>p</jats:italic>-values, to relatively advanced, but often neglected, such as the error-in-variables problem and the curse of dimensionality.

Data integration techniques leverage the relative strengths of input sources to obtain a blended source that is richer, more informative, and more fit for use than any single input component. This review notes the expansion of opportunities to use data integration for health policy analyses, reviews key methodological approaches to expand the number of variables in a data set or to increase the precision of estimates, and provides directions for future research. As data quality improvement motivates data integration, key data quality frameworks are provided to structure assessments of candidate input data sources.","PeriodicalId":48855,"journal":{"name":"Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application","volume":"135 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142007340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bayesian models for entity resolution allow one to include a priori information, quantify uncertainty in important applications, and directly estimate a partition of the records. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling is the primary computational method for approximate posterior inference in this setting, but due to the high dimensionality of the space of partitions, there are no agreed upon standards for diagnosing nonconvergence of MCMC sampling. In this article, we review Bayesian entity resolution, with a focus on the specific challenges that it poses for the convergence of a Markov chain. We review prior methods for convergence diagnostics, discussing their weaknesses. We provide recommendations for using MCMC sampling for Bayesian entity resolution, focusing on the use of modern diagnostics that are commonplace in applied Bayesian statistics. Using simulated data, we find that a commonly used Gibbs sampler performs poorly compared with two alternatives.","PeriodicalId":48855,"journal":{"name":"Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140642691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We review popular methods for text analysis, ranging from topic modeling to the recent neural language models. In particular, we review Topic-SCORE, a statistical approach to topic modeling, and discuss how to use it to analyze the Multi-Attribute Data Set on Statisticians (MADStat), a data set on statistical publications that we collected and cleaned. The application of Topic-SCORE and other methods to MADStat leads to interesting findings. For example, we identified 11 representative topics in statistics. For each journal, the evolution of topic weights over time can be visualized, and these results are used to analyze the trends in statistical research. In particular, we propose a new statistical model for ranking the citation impacts of 11 topics, and we also build a cross-topic citation graph to illustrate how research results on different topics spread to one another. The results on MADStat provide a data-driven picture of the statistical research from 1975 to 2015, from a text analysis perspective.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, Volume 11 is March 2024.

A central focus is on the communication of the inherent uncertainties in statistical analysis, especially in rapidly changing informational environments during crises. We present relevant literature on these topics and draw connections to the communication of statistics and empirical evidence during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

Since the middle of the twentieth century, the field of spatial statistics has evolved to address key inferential questions relating to spatially defined data, yet many central statistical properties do not translate to spatially indexed and spatially correlated data, and the development of statistical inference for mapped data remains an active area of research. Rather than review statistical techniques, we review the different ways the maps of georeferenced data can influence statistical analysis, focusing especially on maps as data visualization, maps as data structures, and maps as statistics themselves, i.e., summaries of underlying patterns with accompanying uncertainty. The categories provide connections to disparate literatures addressing spatial analysis including data visualization, cartography, spatial statistics, and geography. We find maps integrate spatial analysis from motivating questions, informing analytic methods, and providing context for results.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, Volume 11 is March 2024.

Brain network analyses hold great potential in helping us understand normal and abnormal brain function by providing profound clinical insight into links between system-level properties and health and behavioral outcomes. Nonetheless, methods for statistically analyzing networks at the group and individual levels have lagged behind. We have attempted to address this need by developing three complementary statistical frameworks—a mixed modeling framework, a distance regression framework, and a hidden semi-Markov modeling framework. These tools serve as synergistic fusions of statistical approaches with network science methods, providing needed analytic foundations for whole-brain network data. Here we delineate these approaches, briefly survey related tools, and discuss potential future avenues of research.

Whereas the associated information flows could be aggregated into cross-sectional panels, the temporal ordering of the events frequently contains information that requires new models for the analysis of continuous-time interactions, subject to both endogenous and exogenous influences. The introduction of the relational event model (REM) has been a major development that has stimulated new questions and led to further methodological developments. In this review, we track the intellectual history of the REM, define its core properties, and discuss why and how it has been considered useful in empirical research.
