Empirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...
متن کاملThe Letac-Massam conjecture and existence of high dimensional Bayes estimators for Graphical Models
The Wishart distribution, defined on the open convex positive definite cone, plays a central role in multivariate analysis and multivariate distribution theory. Its domain of integrability is often referred to as the Gindikin set. In recent years, a variety of useful extensions of the Wishart have been proposed in the literature for the purposes of studying Markov random fields / graphical mode...
متن کاملComputationally Efficient Estimation of Multilevel High-Dimensional Latent Variable Models
Multilevel analysis often leads to modeling with multiple latent variables on several levels. While this is less of a problem with Gaussian observed variables, maximum-likelihood (ML) estimation with categorical outcomes presents computational problems due to multidimensional numerical integration. We describe a new method that compared to ML is both computationally efficient and has similar MS...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimators for High-Dimensional Sparse Vectors
The problem of estimating a high-dimensional sparse vector θ ∈ R from an observation in i.i.d. Gaussian noise is considered. The performance is measured using squared-error loss. An empirical Bayes shrinkage estimator, derived using a Bernoulli-Gaussian prior, is analyzed and compared with the well-known soft-thresholding estimator. We obtain concentration inequalities for the Stein’s unbiased ...
متن کاملHigh Performance Latent Variable Models
Latent variable models have accumulated a considerable amount of interest from the industry and academia for their versatility in a wide range of applications. A large amount of effort has been made to develop systems that is able to extend the systems to a large scale, in the hope to make use of them on industry scale data. In this paper, we describe a system that operates at a scale orders of...
