We study compound decision theory from a nonparametric Bayesian perspective, with particular emphasis on their relationship to empirical Bayes (EB) procedures. Motivated by the sharp risk guarantees available for EB procedures based on the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE), we investigate whether analogous guarantees can be established for fully Bayesian decision rules. In a class of Gaussian compound decision problems, we show that the fully Bayesian posterior mean achieves near-optimal risk. Moreover, it is admissible as a genuine Bayes rule, whereas the corresponding NPMLE plug-in rule is inadmissible. Simulations illustrate the performance of nonparametric Bayes procedures relative to common alternatives. As an application, we apply our methodology to Census tract-level estimates of economic mobility from the Opportunity Atlas.
RBF 核高斯过程最大似然估计的精确渐近理论
Gaussian processes (GPs) are widely used across machine learning, spatial statistics, time-series analysis, optimization, Bayesian statistics, and scientific applications. A central component of a GP model is its kernel, which is typically specified through a parametric family. Among the most widely used choices is the radial basis function (RBF), also known as the squared exponential or Gaussian kernel, owing to its simple form, smoothness, and flexibility. In practice, the…
借助多项式逼近建立高斯经验贝叶斯的尖锐遗憾界
A central problem in the theory of empirical Bayes is to control the regret (excess risk) of a learned Bayes rule by the Hellinger distance between the estimated and true marginal densities. In the normal means model, the classical result of Jiang and Zhang (2009) achieves this only after regularizing the Bayes rule and incurs an extraneous cubic logarithmic factor through a delicate recursive argument. This paper introduces a new technique, based on polynomial approximation…
高维线性模型经验贝叶斯的梯度流方法
Empirical Bayes provides a powerful framework for learning and adapting to latent structure in data. In sequence models where an independent observation is associated to each latent parameter, theory and methods around empirical Bayes are well-developed. However, in models where latent parameters and observed data interact through more complex designs, many statistical and algorithmic questions remain unanswered. In this work, we study a canonical setting of empirical Bayes…
高维线性回归经验贝叶斯估计的均值场方法
We study empirical Bayes estimation in high-dimensional linear regression. To facilitate computationally efficient estimation of the underlying prior, we adopt a variational empirical Bayes approach, introduced originally in Carbonetto and Stephens (2012) and Kim et al. (2022). We establish asymptotic consistency of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) and its (computable) naive mean field variational surrogate under mild assumptions on the design and the…
Cox 模型的半参数 Fiducial 推断
Abstract R.A. Fisher introduced the fiducial distribution as a potential replacement for the Bayesian posterior distribution in the 1930s. During the past century, fiducial approaches have been explored in various parametric and nonparametric settings. However, to the best of our knowledge, no fiducial inference has been developed in the realm of semiparametric statistics. In this paper, we propose a novel fiducial approach for semiparametric models. In memory of Sir David…
XMSE 感知的自适应经验贝叶斯估计
Empirical Bayes (EB) estimators can match the first-order asymptotic risk of maximum likelihood (ML) while behaving very differently at second order: recent excess mean squared error (XMSE) analysis shows that kernel-based EB estimation may be worse than ML when the kernel is poorly aligned with the true parameter. This paper turns that diagnostic into a design principle. We propose an XMSE-aware mixed estimator that interpolates between ML and EB shrinkage. Its fixed-weight…
