用于有序回归的延续比Logit结构化混合模型AI 解读

We develop a nonparametric Bayesian modeling approach to ordinal regression based on priors placed directly on the discrete distribution of the ordinal responses. The prior probability models are built from a structured mixture of multinomial distributions. We leverage the continuation-ratio logits representation to formulate the mixture kernel, with mixture weights defined through the logit stick-breaking process that incorporates the covariates through a linear function.…

具有记忆的时间点过程混合建模AI 解读

We propose a constructive approach to building temporal point processes that incorporate dependence on their history. The dependence is modeled through the conditional density of the duration, i.e., the interval between successive event times, using a mixture of first-order conditional densities for each one of a specific number of lagged durations. Such a formulation for the conditional duration density accommodates high-order dynamics, and it thus enables flexible modeling…

采用二元稳定核的积分差分方程时空建模AI 解读

Summary An integro-difference equation can be represented as a hierarchical spatiotemporal dynamic model using appropriate parameterizations. The dynamics of the process defined by an integro-difference equation depends on the choice of a bivariate kernel distribution, where more flexible shapes generally result in more flexible models. Under a Bayesian modelling framework, we consider the use of the stable family of distributions for the kernel, as they are infinitely…

多条时间序列的贝叶斯谱建模AI 解读

We develop a novel Bayesian modeling approach to spectral density estimation for multiple time series. The log-periodogram distribution for each series is modeled as a mixture of Gaussian distributions with frequency-dependent weights and mean functions. The implied model for the log-spectral density is a mixture of linear mean functions with frequency-dependent weights. The mixture weights are built through successive differences of a logit-normal distribution function with…

动态有序回归关系建模：加州岩鱼成熟度估计AI 解读

We develop a Bayesian nonparametric framework for modeling ordinal regression relationships, which evolve in discrete time. The motivating application involves a key problem in fisheries research on estimating dynamically evolving relationships between age, length, and maturity, the latter recorded on an ordinal scale. The methodology builds from nonparametric mixture modeling for the joint stochastic mechanism of covariates and latent continuous responses. This approach…

发育毒性研究的贝叶斯非参数混合建模框架AI 解读

We develop a Bayesian nonparametric mixture modeling framework for replicated count responses in dose-response settings. We explore this methodology for modeling and risk assessment in developmental toxicity studies, where the primary objective is to determine the relationship between the level of exposure to a toxic chemical and the probability of a physiological or biochemical response, or death. Data from these experiments typically involve features that cannot be…

分位数回归推断的贝叶斯非参数方法AI 解读

We develop a Bayesian method for nonparametric model–based quantile regression. The approach involves flexible Dirichlet process mixture models for the joint distribution of the response and the covariates, with posterior inference for different quantile curves emerging from the conditional response distribution given the covariates. An extension to allow for partially observed responses leads to a novel Tobit quantile regression framework. We use simulated data sets and two…

基于狄利克雷过程混合的贝叶斯非参数空间建模AI 解读

Customary modeling for continuous point-referenced data assumes a Gaussian process that is often taken to be stationary. When such models are fitted within a Bayesian framework, the unknown parameters of the process are assumed to be random, so a random Gaussian process results. Here we propose a novel spatial Dirichlet process mixture model to produce a random spatial process that is neither Gaussian nor stationary. We first develop a spatial Dirichlet process model for…

贝叶斯半参数中位数回归建模AI 解读

Median regression models become an attractive alternative to mean regression models when employing flexible families of distributions for the errors. Classical approaches are typically algorithmic with desirable properties emerging asymptotically. However, nonparametric error models may be most attractive in the case of smaller sample sizes where parametric specifications are difficult to justify. Hence, a Bayesian approach, enabling exact inference given the observed data,…
