Fully Bayesian inference for neural models with negative-binomial spiking
Characterizing the information carried by neural populations in the brain requires accurate statistical models of neural spike responses. The negative-binomial distribution provides a convenient model for over-dispersed spike counts, that is, responses with greater-than-Poisson variability. Here we describe a powerful data-augmentation framework for fully Bayesian inference in neural models wit...
متن کاملThe Weibull Negative Binomial Distribution
We propose the Weibull negative binomial distribution that is a quite flexible model to analyze positive data, and includes as special submodels the Weibull, Weibull Poisson and Weibull geometric distributions. Some of its structural properties follow from the fact that its density function can be expressed as a mixture of Weibull densities. We provide explicit expressions for moments, generati...
متن کاملStatistical Inference for the Lomax Distribution under Progressively Type-II Censoring with Binomial Removal
This paper considers parameter estimations in Lomax distribution under progressive type-II censoring with random removals, assuming that the number of units removed at each failure time has a binomial distribution. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are derived using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. The Bayes estimates of the parameters are obtained using both the squared erro...
متن کاملCornish-fisher Expansions for Poisson and Negative Binomial Processes
Negative binomial and Poisson processes {X(t), t ≥ 0} have cumulants proportional to the rate λ. So, formal Cornish-Fisher expansions in powers of λ−1/2 are available for their cumulative distribution function and quantiles. If T is an independent random variable with cumulants proportional to γ then the cumulants of X(T ) are proportional to γ; so, CornishFisher expansions in powers of γ−1/2 a...
متن کاملExact Bayesian inference for the Bingham distribution
This paper is concerned with making Bayesian inference from data that are assumed to be drawn from a Bingham distribution. A barrier to the Bayesian approach is the parameter-dependent normalising constant of the Bingham distribution, which, even when it can be evaluated or accurately approximated, would have to be calculated at each iteration of an MCMC scheme, thereby greatly increasing the c...
