Nonparametric Bayes Estimation of Contamination Levels Using Observations from the Residual Distribution
利用阈值以上样本非参数贝叶斯估计污染水平
Data on contamination concentrations for chromium from one of the EPA's toxic waste sites consist of independent and identically distributed (iid) measurements along with additional observations from the residual distribution. The residual sample is obtained by sampling from hot spots, where contamination concentrations are assumed to be above a given threshold value. The data are modeled using a nonparametric Bayes estimator of the distribution function. The Dirichlet…
