Slice Sampling σ -Stable Poisson-Kingman Mixture Models
The article is concerned with the use of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for posterior sampling in Bayesian nonparametric mixture models. In particular, we consider the problem of slice sampling mixture models for a large class of mixing measures generalizing the celebrated Dirichlet process. Such a class of measures, known in the literature as σ -stable Poisson-Kingman models, includes as spe...
متن کاملA hybrid sampler for Poisson-Kingman mixture models
This paper concerns the introduction of a new Markov Chain Monte Carlo scheme for posterior sampling in Bayesian nonparametric mixture models with priors that belong to the general Poisson-Kingman class. We present a novel compact way of representing the infinite dimensional component of the model such that while explicitly representing this infinite component it has less memory and storage req...
متن کاملApproximating the marginal likelihood in mixture models
In Chib (1995), a method for approximating marginal densities in a Bayesian setting is proposed, with one proeminent application being the estimation of the number of components in a normal mixture. As pointed out in Neal (1999) and Frühwirth-Schnatter (2004), the approximation often fails short of providing a proper approximation to the true marginal densities because of the well-known label s...
متن کاملA Tractable Class of σ-stable Poisson-Kingman Processes and an Effective Marginalized Sampler
We explore the use of a class of random probability measures, which we refer to as the Q class, for Bayesian nonparametric mixture modeling. This class of processes encompasses both the normalised generalised gamma and the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet processes allowing us to comparatively study the inferential advantages of these two processes. We propose novel marginal and conditional char...
متن کاملMarginal likelihoods for non-Gaussian models using auxiliary mixture sampling
Several new estimators of the marginal likelihood for complex non-Gaussian models are developed. These estimators make use of the output of auxiliary mixture sampling for count data and for binary and multinomial data. One of these estimators is based on combiningChib’s estimatorwith data augmentation as in auxiliarymixture sampling,while the other estimators are importance sampling and bridge ...
