SMC²：状态空间模型序贯分析的高效算法AI 解读

Summary We consider the generic problem of performing sequential Bayesian inference in a state space model with observation process y, state process x and fixed parameter θ. An idealized approach would be to apply the iterated batch importance sampling algorithm of Chopin. This is a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm in the θ-dimension, that samples values of θ, reweights iteratively these values by using the likelihood increments pyt∣y1:t−1,θ and rejuvenates the θ-particles…

扩散过程的非参数估计：微分方程方法AI 解读

We consider estimation of scalar functions that determine the dynamics of diffusion processes. It has been recently shown that nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation is ill-posed in this context. We adopt a probabilistic approach to regularize the problem by the adoption of a prior distribution for the unknown functional. A Gaussian prior measure is chosen in the function space by specifying its precision operator as an appropriate differential operator. We establish…

Summary We propose a flexible non-parametric specification of the emission distribution in hidden Markov models and we introduce a novel methodology for carrying out the computations. Whereas current approaches use a finite mixture model, we argue in favour of an infinite mixture model given by a mixture of Dirichlet processes. The computational framework is based on auxiliary variable representations of the Dirichlet process and consists of a forward–backward Gibbs sampling…

狄利克雷过程层级模型的回溯式马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛方法AI 解读

Inference for Dirichlet process hierarchical models is typically performed using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, which can be roughly categorized into marginal and conditional methods. The former integrate out analytically the infinite-dimensional component of the hierarchical model and sample from the marginal distribution of the remaining variables using the Gibbs sampler. Conditional methods impute the Dirichlet process and update it as a component of the Gibbs sampler.…
