Bayesian nonparametric models of sparse and exchangeable random graphs
Statistical network modeling has focused on representing the graph as a discrete structure, namely the adjacency matrix, and considering the exchangeability of this array. In such cases, the Aldous-Hoover representation theorem (Aldous, 1981; Hoover, 1979) applies and informs us that the graph is necessarily either dense or empty. In this paper, we instead consider representing the graph as a m...
متن کاملSparse Nonparametric Graphical Models
We present some nonparametric methods for graphical modeling. In the discrete case, where the data are binary or drawn from a finite alphabet, Markov random fields are already essentially nonparametric, since the cliques can take only a finite number of values. Continuous data are different. The Gaussian graphical model is the standard parametric model for continuous data, but it makes distribu...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Models
‘ We have been looking at models that posit latent structure in high dimensional data. We use the posterior to uncover that structure. ‘ The two main types are mixtures (and variants, like mixed-membership) and factor models (like PCA, factor analysis, and others). ‘ A nagging concern for these methods is model selection—how do I choose the number of mixture components? the number of factors? ‘...
متن کاملSpatial Nonparametric Bayesian Models
The prior distribution is an essential ingredient of any Bayesian analysis, and it plays a major role in determining the final results. As such, Bayesians attempt to use prior distributions that have certain properties. Perhaps the main property is a desire to accurately reflect prior information, i.e., information external to the experiment at hand. We would supplement this vague property with...
متن کاملNonparametric Bayesian Kernel Models
Kernel models for classification and regression have emerged as widely applied tools in statistics and machine learning. We discuss a Bayesian framework and theory for kernel methods, providing a new rationalization of kernel regression based on nonparametric Bayesian models. Functional analytic results ensure that such a nonparametric prior specification induces a class of functions that span ...
