Bayesian approach to cubic natural exponential families
For a natural exponential family (NEF), one can associate in a natural way two standard families of conjugate priors, one on the natural parameter and the other on the mean parameter. These families of conjugate priors have been used to establish some remarkable properties and characterization results of the quadratic NEF’s. In the present paper, we show that for a NEF, we can associate a class...
متن کاملA BAYESIAN APPROACH TO SEQUENTIAL SURVEILLANCE IN EXPONENTIAL FAMILIES By
We describe herein a Bayesian change-point model and the associated recursive formulas for the estimated time-varying parameters and the posterior probability that a change-point has occurred at a particular time. The proposed model is a variant of that of Chernoff and Zacks (1964) for the case of normal means with known common variance. It considers more generally the multiparameter exponentia...
متن کاملNonparametric Bayesian inference on multivariate exponential families
We develop a model by choosing the maximum entropy distribution from the set of models satisfying certain smoothness and independence criteria; we show that inference on this model generalizes local kernel estimation to the context of Bayesian inference on stochastic processes. Our model enables Bayesian inference in contexts when standard techniques like Gaussian process inference are too expe...
متن کاملConjugate Priors for Exponential Families Having Cubic Variance Functions
In this paper, we give three equivalent properties of the class of multivariate simple cubic natural exponential families (NEF’s). The first property says that the cumulant function of any basis of the family is a solution of some Monge-Ampère equation, the second is that the variance function satisfies a differential equation, and the third is characterized by the equality between two families...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Cubic Exponential Families by Orthogonality of Polynomials
This paper introduces a notion of 2-orthogonality for a sequence of polynomials to give extended versions of the Meixner and Feinsilver characterization results based on orthogonal polynomials. These new versions subsume the Letac–Mora characterization of the real natural exponential families having cubic variance function. } be a natural exponential family (NEF) on the real line parameterized ...
