Coupling Nonparametric Mixtures via Latent Dirichlet Processes
Mixture distributions are often used to model complex data. In this paper, we develop a new method that jointly estimates mixture models over multiple data sets by exploiting the statistical dependencies between them. Specifically, we introduce a set of latent Dirichlet processes as sources of component models (atoms), and for each data set, we construct a nonparametric mixture model by combini...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation of Reliability
Assessment of the reliability of various types of equipment relies on statistical inference about characteristics of reliability such as reliability function, mean lifetime of the devices, or failure rate. General techniques of statistical inference (estimation and hypotheses testing) are reviewed in Estimation; Least-Squares Estimation; Maximum Likelihood; Nonparametric Tests; Hypothesis Testi...
متن کاملPosterior concentration rates for empirical Bayes procedures with applications to Dirichlet process mixtures
We provide conditions on the statistical model and the prior probability law to derive contraction rates of posterior distributions corresponding to data-dependent priors in an empirical Bayes approach for selecting prior hyper-parameter values. We aim at giving conditions in the same spirit as those in the seminal article of Ghosal and van der Vaart [23]. We then apply the result to specific s...
متن کاملEstimation of parameter of proportion in Binomial Distribution Using Adjusted Prior Distribution
Historically, various methods were suggested for the estimation of Bernoulli and Binomial distributions parameter. One of the suggested methods is the Bayesian method, which is based on employing prior distribution. Their sound selection on parameter space play a crucial role in reducing posterior Bayesian estimator error. At times, large scale of the parametric changes on parameter space bring...
