Bayesian computation via empirical likelihood.
Approximate Bayesian computation has become an essential tool for the analysis of complex stochastic models when the likelihood function is numerically unavailable. However, the well-established statistical method of empirical likelihood provides another route to such settings that bypasses simulations from the model and the choices of the approximate Bayesian computation parameters (summary st...
متن کاملBayesian approach to maximum likelihood estimation
Suppose that we start with a “prior” probability distribution g(θ) on parameters, which represents our knowledge (such as the frequencies of the 4 different nucleotides in the DNA of a given species) before running an experiment. Next, we run an experiment (e.g., sequencing a particular segment of DNA), and observe an outcome x. Bayes’s rule tells us that P (θ|x) = P (x|θ)g(θ) P (x) . In the ra...
متن کاملApproximate Bayesian Inference by the Weighted Likelihood Bootstrap
We introduce the weighted likelihood bootstrap (WLB) as a simple way of approximately simulating from a posterior distribution. This is easy to implement, requiring only an algorithm for calculating the maximum likelihood estimator, such as the EM algorithm or iteratively reweighted least squares; it does not necessarily require actual calculation of the likelihood itself. The method is exact u...
متن کاملHyperbolic Cosine Log-Logistic Distribution and Estimation of Its Parameters by Using Maximum Likelihood Bayesian and Bootstrap Methods
In this paper, a new probability distribution, based on the family of hyperbolic cosine distributions is proposed and its various statistical and reliability characteristics are investigated. The new category of HCF distributions is obtained by combining a baseline F distribution with the hyperbolic cosine function. Based on the base log-logistics distribution, we introduce a new di...
متن کاملData Analysis with Bayesian Networks: A Bootstrap Approach
In recent years there ha� been significant progress in algorithms and methods for inducing Bayesian networks from data. However, in com plex data analysis problems, we need to go be yond being satisfied with inducing networks with high scores. We need to provide confidence mea sures on features of these networks: Is the exis tence of an edge between two nodes warranted? Is the Markov blanke...
