• Resumen

  • We present a Bayesian approach for modelling quantities which are complex non-linear functions of other well modeled quantities. We apply our approach to model the body-mass index of infants. Our method benefits from recycling model fits to get posterior samples of the function, and use this for inferential purposes.
