متن کاملA nonparametric estimator of species overlap.
For two communities, species overlap has been defined by Smith, Solow, and Preston (1996, Biometrics 52, 1472-1477) as the probability that a randomly selected species is present in both communities given that it is present in at least one community. Species overlap can thus be used to describe the similarity of two communities. In contrast with the parametric estimator of Smith et al., we prop...
متن کاملMultiagent Planning with Bayesian Nonparametric Asymptotics
Autonomous multiagent systems are beginning to see use in complex, changing environments that cannot be completely specified a priori. In order to be adaptive to these environments and avoid the fragility associated with making too many a priori assumptions, autonomous systems must incorporate some form of learning. However, learning techniques themselves often require structural assumptions to...
متن کاملSmall-Variance Asymptotics for Bayesian Nonparametric Models with Constraints
The users often have additional knowledge when Bayesian nonparametric models (BNP) are employed, e.g. for clustering there may be prior knowledge that some of the data instances should be in the same cluster (must-link constraint) or in different clusters (cannot-link constraint), and similarly for topic modeling some words should be grouped together or separately because of an underlying seman...
متن کاملSmall Noise Asymptotics of the Bayesian Estimator in Nonidentifiable Models
We study the asymptotic behavior of the Bayesian estimator for a deterministic signal in additive Gaussian white noise, in the case where the set of minima of the Kullback–Leibler information is a submanifold of the parameter space. This problem includes as a special case the study of the asymptotic behavior of the nonlinear filter, when the state equation is noise-free, and when the limiting d...
