随机分布及相关函数的贝叶斯非参数推断AI 解读

Summary In recent years, Bayesian nonparametric inference, both theoretical and computational, has witnessed considerable advances. However, these advances have not received a full critical and comparative analysis of their scope, impact and limitations in statistical modelling; many aspects of the theory and methods remain a mystery to practitioners and many open questions remain. In this paper, we discuss and illustrate the rich modelling and analytic possibilities that…

正态位置参数的稳健分析AI 解读

Summary Pericchi and Smith considered a normal location parameter problem with double-exponential and Student t prior distributions. These two prior distributions both belong to the class of scale mixtures of normal distributions and are useful in providing a robust analysis of the normal location parameter problem. In this paper we extend the analysis to other scale mixtures of normal distributions, such as the exponential power and the symmetric stable distributions.

无限可分分布的近似随机数生成及其贝叶斯推断应用AI 解读

SUMMARY Stochastic processes with independent increments play a central role in Bayesian nonparametric inference. The distributions of the increments of these processes, aside from fixed points of discontinuity, are infinitely divisible and their Laplace and/or Fourier transforms in the Lévy representation are usually known. Conventional Bayesian inference in this context has been limited largely to providing point estimates of the random quantities of interest, although…

改善贝叶斯推断参数化的诊断图AI 解读

A major problem with the Bayesian analysis of statistical models is that the computation of posterior and predictive summaries typically requires the numerical evaluation of complicated multivariate integrals. The accuracy and efficiency of these computations are usually sensitive to the choice of parameterization for the statistical model. This paper describes a graphical method which can be used both for assessing a proposed parameterization and choosing a new improved…

利用 Gibbs 采样分析参数约束与截断数据问题AI 解读

Constrained parameter problems arise in a wide variety of applications, including bioassay, actuarial graduation, ordinal categorical data, response surfaces, reliability development testing, and variance component models. Truncated data problems arise naturally in survival and failure time studies, ordinal data models, and categorical data studies aimed at uncovering underlying continuous distributions. In many applications both parameter constraints and data truncation are…

用 Gibbs 抽样展示正态数据模型的贝叶斯推断AI 解读

The use of the Gibbs sampler as a method for calculating Bayesian marginal posterior and predictive densities is reviewed and illustrated with a range of normal data models, including variance components, unordered and ordered means, hierarchical growth curves, and missing data in a crossover trial. In all cases the approach is straightforward to specify distributionally and to implement computationally, with output readily adapted for required inference summaries.
