Bayesian non-parametric inference for $\Lambda$-coalescents: consistency and a parametric method
We investigate Bayesian non-parametric inference for the Λ-measure of Λ-coalescent processes parametrised by probability measures on the unit interval and provide an implementable, provably consistent MCMC inference algorithm. We give verifiable criteria on the prior for posterior consistency when observations form a time series, and prove that any non-trivial prior is inconsistent when all obs...
متن کاملBayesian non-parametric inference for -coalescents: posterior consistency and a parametric method
We investigate Bayesian non-parametric inference of the Λ-measure of Λ-coalescent processes with recurrent mutation, parametrised by probability measures on the unit interval. We give verifiable criteria on the prior for posterior consistency when observations form a time series, and prove that any non-trivial prior is inconsistent when all observations are contemporaneous. We then show that th...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric and Parametric Inference
This paper reviews Bayesian Nonparametric methods and discusses how parametric predictive densities can be constructed using nonparametric ideas.
متن کاملPosterior Consistency for some Semi-parametric Problems
The Bayesian approach to analyzing semi-parametric models are gaining popularity in practice. For the Cox proportional hazard model, it has been shown recently that the posterior is consistent and leads to asymptotically accurate confidence intervals under a Lévy process prior on the cumulative hazard rate. The explicit expression of the posterior distribution together with independent incremen...
متن کاملBayesian inference for longitudinal data with non-parametric treatment effects.
We consider inference for longitudinal data based on mixed-effects models with a non-parametric Bayesian prior on the treatment effect. The proposed non-parametric Bayesian prior is a random partition model with a regression on patient-specific covariates. The main feature and motivation for the proposed model is the use of covariates with a mix of different data formats and possibly high-order...
