Bayesian Nonparametric Predictive Inference and Bootstrap Techniques
Abst rac t . We address the question as to whether a prior distribution on the space of distribution functions exists which generates the posterior produced by Efron's and Rubin's bootstrap techniques, emphasizing the connections with the Dirichlet process. We also introduce a new resampling plan which has two advantages: prior opinions are taken into account and the predictive distribution of ...
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 کاملNonparametric predictive utility inference
This work considers the combination of two strands of recent statistical research: that of decision making with uncertain utility and that of nonparametric predictive inference. In doing so we discuss the use of Nonparametric Predictive Utility Inference (NPUI) within a sequential decision selection problem for the situation of a Decision Maker (DM) who is confronted with a choice set that incl...
متن کاملNonparametric Predictive Inference
Nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) is a statistical method based on Hill’s assumption A(n) [13], which gives a direct conditional probability for a future observable random quantity, conditional on observed values of related random quantities [1, 3]. Suppose that X1, . . . , Xn, Xn+1 are continuous and exchangeable random quantities. Let the ordered observed values of X1, . . . , Xn be de...
متن کاملBayesian inference and the parametric bootstrap.
The parametric bootstrap can be used for the efficient computation of Bayes posterior distributions. Importance sampling formulas take on an easy form relating to the deviance in exponential families, and are particularly simple starting from Jeffreys invariant prior. Because of the i.i.d. nature of bootstrap sampling, familiar formulas describe the computational accuracy of the Bayes estimates...
