A note on “shaved dice” inference
Two dice are rolled repeatedly, only their sum is registered. Have the two dice been “shaved”, so two of the six sides appear more frequently? Pavlides & Perlman (2010) discuss this somewhat complicated type of situation through curved exponential families. Here we contrast their approach by regarding data as incomplete data from a simple exponential family. The latter, supplementary approach i...
متن کاملOn Estimating the Face Probabilities of Shaved Dice With Partial Data
As noted by Persi Diaconis, the apparently simple problem of estimating the face probabilities of a shaved die defies exact mathematical analysis. However, this problem can be used to provide amusing and instructive examples of sufficiency, efficiency, information, ancillarity, and the value of statistical design.
متن کاملA Note on Variational Bayesian Inference
This self-contained note describes variational Bayesian approaches and its collapsed variants to unsupervised clustering. The proposed methods are demonstrated on cancer microarray data sets which showed outperforming results over the classical Gaussian mixture models. 1 LPD probabilistic model Let d index samples, g the genes (attributes), and k the processes (cluster). The numbers of processe...
متن کاملVariational Bayesian Inference Note
When we use EM that uses maximum likelihood as a criterion to select the number of Gaussians, we face the problem of that as the complexity of model increases, the training likihood strictly improves, which means the larger number of Gaussians, the better fit of the training data (see Figure 1). We can see from this example, the traning log-likelihood can even become positive when some clusters...
متن کاملA Note on the Subtleties of Bayesian Inference
The Bayesian approach plays a central role in economics, decision theory and game theory. Bayesianism is usually characterized as the philosophical view that probability can be interpreted subjectively and that the rational way to assimilate information into one’s structure of beliefs is by a process called “conditionalization”. Thus Bayesianism has a static part and a dynamic part. The former ...
