Nonparametric priors with full-range borrowing of information
支持全范围信息借用的非参数先验
Summary Modelling of the dependence structure across heterogeneous data is crucial for Bayesian inference, since it directly impacts the borrowing of information. Despite extensive advances over the past two decades, most available methods only allow for nonnegative correlations. We derive a new class of dependent nonparametric priors that can induce correlations of any sign, thus introducing a new and more flexible idea of borrowing of information. This is achieved thanks…
