Non-parametric Bayesian estimation for multitype branching processes through simulation-based methods
The problem of statistical inference from a Bayesian outlook is studied for the multitype Galton–Watson branching process, considering a non-parametric framework. The only data assumed to be available are each generation’s population size vectors. The Gibbs sampler is used in estimating the posterior distributions of the main parameters of the model, and the predictive distributions for as yet ...
متن کاملNon-Parametric Bayesian Inference for Y-linked Bisexual Branching Processes through MCMC Methods
It is well-known that in some animal populations the sex of the individuals is determined by a pair of chromosomes X and Y. A female has XX chromosomes, while a male has XY chromosomes. Certain characteristics are due to genes carried on the X chromosome (X-linked). Others due to genes carried on the Y chromosome (Y-linked) and still others to genes carried on both chromosome (XY-linked). Takin...
متن کاملCalculations for multi-type age-dependent binary branching processes.
This article provides a method for calculating the joint probability density for the topology and the node times of a tree which has been produced by an multi-type age-dependent binary branching process and then sampled at a given time. These processes are a generalization, in two ways, of the constant rate birth-death process. There are a finite number of types of particle instead of a single ...
متن کاملNon-parametric Bayesian inference for inhomogeneous Markov point processes
With reference to a specific data set, we consider how to perform a flexible non-parametric Bayesian analysis of an inhomogeneous point pattern modelled by a Markov point process, with a location dependent first order term and pairwise interaction only. A priori we assume that the first order term is a shot noise process, and the interaction function for a pair of points depends only on the dis...
متن کاملMarginally specified priors for non-parametric Bayesian estimation.
Prior specification for non-parametric Bayesian inference involves the difficult task of quantifying prior knowledge about a parameter of high, often infinite, dimension. A statistician is unlikely to have informed opinions about all aspects of such a parameter but will have real information about functionals of the parameter, such as the population mean or variance. The paper proposes a new fr...
