Bayesian density estimation and model selection using nonparametric hierarchical mixtures
We consider mixtures of parametric densities on the positive reals with a normalized generalized gamma process (Brix, 1999) as mixing measure. This class of mixtures encompasses the Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) model, but it is supposedly more flexible in the detection of clusters in the data. With an almost sure approximation of the posterior distribution of the mixing process we can run a ...

متن کاملStatistical Topology Using the Nonparametric Density Estimation and Bootstrap Algorithm
This paper presents approximate confidence intervals for each function of parameters in a Banach space based on a bootstrap algorithm. We apply kernel density approach to estimate the persistence landscape. In addition, we evaluate the quality distribution function estimator of random variables using integrated mean square error (IMSE). The results of simulation studies show a significant impro...
متن کاملState Price Density Estimation via Nonparametric Mixtures
We consider nonparametric estimation of the state price density encapsulated in option prices. Unlike usual density estimation problems, we only observe option prices and their corresponding strike prices rather than samples from the state price density. We propose to model the state price density directly with a nonparametric mixture and estimate it using least squares. We show that although t...
متن کاملTopics Over Nonparametric Time: A Supervised Topic Model Using Bayesian Nonparametric Density Estimation
We propose a new supervised topic model that uses a nonparametric density estimator to model the distribution of real-valued metadata given a topic. The model is similar to Topics Over Time, but replaces the beta distributions used in that model with a Dirichlet process mixture of normals. The use of a nonparametric density estimator allows for the fitting of a greater class of metadata densiti...
