Bayesian 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 کاملQuantile 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 کاملCOS 597 C : Bayesian nonparametrics
In this first lecture, we begin by introducing the Chinese Restaurant Process. After a brief review of finite mixture models, we describe the Chinese Restaurant Process mixture, where the latent variables are distributed according to a Chinese Restaurant Process. We end by noting a connection between Dirchlet processes and the Chinese Restaurant Process mixture. We will define a distribution on...
متن کاملLecture Notes on Bayesian Nonparametrics
These are class notes for a PhD level course on Bayesian nonparametrics, taught at Columbia University in Fall 2013. This text is a draft. I apologize for the many typos, false statements and poor explanations no doubt still left in the text; I will post corrections as they become available.
متن کاملMoment conditions and Bayesian nonparametrics∗
Models phrased though moment conditions are central to much of modern inference. Here these moment conditions are embedded within a nonparametric Bayesian setup. Handling such a model is not probabilistically straightforward as the posterior has support on a manifold. We solve the relevant issues, building new probability and computational tools using Hausdorff measures to analyze them on real ...
