Hierarchical Bayesian parameter estimation for cumulative prospect theory (2011, methodology): “Although hierarchical analyses can be carried out using orthodox methodology (i.e. Farrell & Ludwig, 2008; Hoffman & Rovine, 2007), there are philosophical and practical reasons to prefer the Bayesian methodology (e.g. Gelman & Hill, 2007; Lindley, 2000, respectively).”
Evaluating Value-Added Models for Teacher Accountability. Monograph. (2004, background): “Second, estimates should be relatively invariant to different plausible estimation procedures or modeling choices; if estimates vary appreciably across models, the resulting uncertainty of findings should be considered (Lindley, 2000).”
