The aim of this paper is to learn a Bayesian network structure for discrete variables. For this purpose, we introduce a Gibbs sampler method. Each sample represents a Bayesian network. Thus, in the process of Gibbs sampling, we obtain a set of Bayesian networks. For achieving a single graph that represents the best graph fitted on data, we use the mode of burn-in graphs. This means that the most frequent edges of burn-in graphs are considered to indicate the best single graph. The results on the well-known Bayesian networks show that our method has higher accuracy in the task of learning a Bayesian network structure.

In this paper, we will introduce a Bayesian semiparametric model concerned with both constant and coefficients. In Meta-Analysis or Meta-Regression, we usually use a parametric family. However, lately the increasing tendency to use Bayesian nonparametric and semiparametric models, entered this area too. ...

In this paper, we will introduce a Bayesian semiparametric model concerned with both constant and coefficients. In Meta-Analysis or Meta-Regression, we usually use a parametric family. However, lately the increasing tendency to use Bayesian nonparametric and semiparametric models, entered this area too. On the other hand, although we have some works on Bayesian nonparametric or semiparametric models, they just focus on intercept and do not pay much attention to regressor coefficient(s). We also would check the efficiency of the proposed model via simulation and give an illustrating example.
