Building Agent-Based Decision Support Systems for Word-of-Mouth Programs: A Freemium Application
JOURNAL OF MARKETING RESEARCH, 54(5), 752–767.
Contributors: M. Chica * & W. Rand n
author keywords: word of mouth; marketing decision support systems; agent-based modeling; targeting and referrals; freemium business model
TL;DR:
An agent-based framework that aggregates social network–level individual interactions to guide the construction of a successful DSS for WOM is proposed and shown how the DSS can help managers by forecasting premium conversions and increasing the number of premiums through targeting and implementing reward policies.

Risk Analysis, 37(10), 2005–2022.
author keywords: Acceptance-resistance; agent-based model; opinion dynamics; risk perceptions; social amplification of risk; water reuse

A spatial model for rare binary events
ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECOLOGICAL STATISTICS, 24(4), 485–504.
author keywords: Ecology; Extreme value analysis; Generalized linear model; Max-stable process; Occupancy
TL;DR:
This paper proposes a method for rare binary data that builds on spatial extreme value theory and finds some evidence that for very rare data the max-stable extension provides an improvement in spatial prediction compared to Gaussian models.

A Bayesian mixture model for clustering and selection of feature occurrence rates under mean constraints
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND DATA MINING, 10(6), 393–409.
author keywords: Bayesian nonparametrics; count data; feature selection; Poisson mixture; text analysis
TL;DR:
This paper proposes a zero‐inflated Poisson mixture modeling framework that incorporates a model‐based normalization through prior distributions with mean constraints, as well as a feature selection mechanism, which allows it to identify a parsimonious set of discriminatory features, and simultaneously cluster the samples into homogenous groups.

author keywords: Extreme value analysis; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Random partition; Skew-t; Spatio-temporal modeling
MeSH headings : Air Pollutants; Bayes Theorem; Models, Statistical; Normal Distribution; Ozone; United States; United States Environmental Protection Agency
TL;DR:
A new space‐time model for threshold exceedances based on the skew‐t process is presented, which allows for high‐dimensional Bayesian inference that is comparable in computation time to traditional geostatistical methods for large data sets.
