Asymptotics of cut distributions and robust modular inference using Posterior Bootstrap
截断反馈分布的渐近理论与基于后验自助法的稳健模块推断
Bayesian inference provides a framework to combine various model components with shared parameters, allowing joint uncertainty estimation and the use of all available data sources. Unfortunately, misspecification of any part of the model might propagate to all other parts and can lead to unsatisfactory results. Cut distributions have been proposed as a remedy, where the information is prevented from flowing along certain directions. We study cut distributions from an…
