An exact predictive recursion for Bayesian nonparametric analysis of incomplete data
This paper presents an original extension of the predictive inferences to compound evidence. The estimate is recursive and exact, meaning that the recursion provides exact posterior predictive distributions for subsequent samples under a Dirichlet process prior: it is equivalent to the Susarla-Van Ryzin estimator.
متن کاملNonparametric Bayesian Data Analysis
We review the current state of nonparametric Bayesian inference. The discussion follows a list of important statistical inference problems, including density estimation, regression, survival analysis, hierarchical models and model validation. For each inference problem we review relevant nonparametric Bayesian models and approaches including Dirichlet process (DP) models and variations, Polya t...
متن کاملLearning Bayesian Networks from Incomplete Data: An Efficient Method for Generating Approximate Predictive Distributions
We present an efficient method for learning Bayesian network models and parameters from incomplete data. With our approach an approximation is obtained of the predictive distribution. By way of this distribution any learning algorithm that works for complete data can be easily adapted to work for incomplete data as well. Our method exploits the dependence relations between the variables explici...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Predictive Inference and Bootstrap Techniques
Abst rac t . We address the question as to whether a prior distribution on the space of distribution functions exists which generates the posterior produced by Efron's and Rubin's bootstrap techniques, emphasizing the connections with the Dirichlet process. We also introduce a new resampling plan which has two advantages: prior opinions are taken into account and the predictive distribution of ...
متن کاملInfinite Tucker Decomposition: Nonparametric Bayesian Models for Multiway Data Analysis
Tensor decomposition is a powerful computational tool for multiway data analysis. Many popular tensor decomposition approaches—such as the Tucker decomposition and CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP)—amount to multi-linear factorization. They are insufficient to model (i) complex interactions between data entities, (ii) various data types (e.g.missing data and binary data), and (iii) noisy observations and ...
