Bayesian adaptive regression splines for hierarchical data.
This article considers methodology for hierarchical functional data analysis, motivated by studies of reproductive hormone profiles in the menstrual cycle. Current methods standardize the cycle lengths and ignore the timing of ovulation within the cycle, both of which are biologically informative. Methods are needed that avoid standardization, while flexibly incorporating information on covaria...
متن کاملSpatially Adaptive Bayesian Regression Splines
In this paper we study penalized regression splines (P-splines), which are low–order basis function splines with a penalty to avoid undersmoothing. Such P–splines are typically not spatially adaptive, and hence can have trouble when functions are varying rapidly. While frequentist methods are available to address this issue, no Bayesian techniques have been developed. Our approach is to model t...
متن کاملBayesian density estimation and model selection using nonparametric hierarchical mixtures
We consider mixtures of parametric densities on the positive reals with a normalized generalized gamma process (Brix, 1999) as mixing measure. This class of mixtures encompasses the Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) model, but it is supposedly more flexible in the detection of clusters in the data. With an almost sure approximation of the posterior distribution of the mixing process we can run a ...
متن کاملBayesian varying-coefficient models using adaptive regression splines
Varying-coefficient models provide a flexible framework for semiand nonparametric generalized regression analysis. We present a fully Bayesian B-spline basis function approach with adaptive knot selection. For each of the unknown regression functions or varying coefficients, the number and location of knots and the B-spline coefficients are estimated simultaneously using reversible jump Markov ...
متن کاملSpatially Adaptive Bayesian Penalized Regression Splines (P-splines)
In this paper we study penalized regression splines (P-splines), which are low–order basis splines with a penalty to avoid undersmoothing. Such P–splines are typically not spatially adaptive, and hence can have trouble when functions are varying rapidly. Our approach is to model the penalty parameter inherent in the P–spline method as a heteroscedastic regression function. We develop a full Bay...
