Applied Bayesian Non- and Semi-parametric Inference using DPpackage
Inmany practical situations, a parametric model cannot be expected to describe in an appropriate manner the chance mechanism generating an observed dataset, and unrealistic features of some common models could lead to unsatisfactory inferences. In these cases, we would like to relax parametric assumptions to allow greater modeling flexibility and robustness against misspecification of a paramet...
متن کاملSemi-Nonparametric Modeling and Estimation∗
In this paper it will show how unknown density and distribution functions can be modeled semi-nonparametrically via orthonormal series expansions, and how to estimate semi-nonparametric (SNP) models via a sieve estimation approach. As an application I will focus on the mixed proportional hazard (MPH) model with fixed right censoring and unspecified mixing distribution and baseline hazard. I wil...
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 کاملBayesian Nonparametric Learning with semi-Markovian Dynamics
There is much interest in the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Hidden Markov Model (HDP-HMM) as a natural Bayesian nonparametric extension of the ubiquitous Hidden Markov Model for learning from sequential and time-series data. However, in many settings the HDP-HMM’s strict Markovian constraints are undesirable, particularly if we wish to learn or encode non-geometric state durations. We can exte...
