Bayesian inference for high-dimensional linear regression under mnet priors
Abstract: For regression problems that involve many potential predictors, the Bayesian variable selection (BVS) method is a powerful tool, which associates each model with its posterior probabilities, and achieves superb prediction performance through Bayesian model averaging (BMA). Two challenges of using such models are, specifying a suitable prior, and computing posterior quantities for infe...
متن کاملRobust Bayesian Inference Using the Mixture Priors
In Bayesian estimation the posterior distribution is proportional to likelihood function and the prior density of the parameter. Thus Bayesian inference, most often, is affected by the prior density. In this paper we look at how we can make Bayesian inference more robust against a poorly specified prior. We find that using a mixture of conjugate priors enables us to do this. We allow a small pr...
متن کاملMean field variational Bayesian inference for nonparametric regression with measurement error
A fast mean field variational Bayes (MFVB) approach to nonparametric regression when the predictors are subject to classical measurement error is investigated. It is shown that the use of such technology to the measurement error setting achieves reasonable accuracy. In tandem with the methodological development, a customized Markov chain Monte Carlo method is developed to facilitate the evaluat...
متن کاملPriors in quantum Bayesian inference
In quantum Bayesian inference problems, any conclusions drawn from a finite number of measurements depend not only on the outcomes of the measurements but also on a prior. Here we show that, in general, the prior remains important even in the limit of an infinite number of measurements. We illustrate this point with several examples where two priors lead to very different conclusions given the ...
متن کاملBayesian Inference Featuring Entropic Priors
The subject of this work is the parametric inference problem, i.e. how to infer from data on the parameters of the data likelihood of a random process whose parametric form is known a priori. The assumption that Bayes’ theorem has to be used to add new data samples reduces the problem to the question of how to specify a prior before having seen any data. For this subproblem three theorems are s...
