Quantile Pyramids for Bayesian Nonparametrics
Pólya trees fix partitions and use random probabilities in order to construct random probability measures. With quantile pyramids we instead fix probabilities and use random partitions. For nonparametric Bayesian inference we use a prior which supports piecewise linear quantile functions, based on the need to work with a finite set of partitions, yet we show that the limiting version of the pri...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametrics I
We begin by discussing the central problem of model selection, and quickly illustrate how Bayesian nonparametrics can help us with that problem and a lot more. We briefly introduce the notion of random measures, before reviewing the Chinese restaurant process (CRP) and infinite mixture models. We then formally define the Dirichlet process, demonstrate its properties as a random measure, and the...
متن کاملA tutorial introduction to Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using Approximate Bayesian Computation.
Likelihood-based inference for disease outbreak data can be very challenging due to the inherent dependence of the data and the fact that they are usually incomplete. In this paper we review recent Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) methods for the analysis of such data by fitting to them stochastic epidemic models without having to calculate the likelihood of the observed data. We consider...
متن کاملOnline Bayesian Nonparametrics for Group Detection
Social interactions are essential in our daily activities and automatic modelling of interactional exchanges has become an active research topic over the last few years. An important step towards the analysis of social behaviour and the understanding of social interactions involves the identification of groups of people, which is the goal of this work. We propose to perform group detection from...
متن کاملStochastic Epidemic Models
The present work concerns models of epidemic which are described by differential and stochastic differential equations. The theorems on the existence, uniqueness and properties of their solutions are stated. Introduction In nature, there are many diseases which can cause epidemics. Therefore it is useful to model the behavior of these diseases in order to control their progression. In this pape...
