Bayesian measures of surprise for outlier detection
From a Bayesian point of view, testing whether an observation is an outlier is usually reduced to a testing problem concerning a parameter of a contaminating distribution. This requires elicitation of both (i) the contaminating distribution that generates the outlier and (ii) prior distributions on its parameters. However, very little information is typically available about how the possible outlier could have been generated. Thus easy, preliminary checks in which these assessments can often be avoided may prove useful. Several such measures of surprise are derived for outlier detection in normal models. Results are applied to several examples. Default Bayes factors, where the contaminating…
Customized intraocular telescope implanted in high myopic patients with advanced maculopathy
Purpose To evaluate the results of intraocular personalized telescope implantation to improve distance best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in high myopic patients having cataract surgery. Methods This prospective non randomized observational study included 16 eyes of 9 consecutive patients with advanced maculopathy associate to high myopia having cataract surgery. Bilateral implantation of the intraocular telescope was performed after phacoemulsification in patients having the requisites. The telescope consists of two lenses a positive high power lens is implanted in the anterior chamber and a negative one is implanted in the posterior chamber. The lenses power, magnification and residual r…
