Bayesian Nonparametric and Parametric Inference
This paper reviews Bayesian Nonparametric methods and discusses how parametric predictive densities can be constructed using nonparametric ideas.
متن کاملNonparametric Predictive Inference for Ordinal Data and Accuracy of Diagnostic Tests
This thesis considers Nonparametric Predictive Inference (NPI) for ordinal data and accuracy of diagnostic tests. We introduce NPI for ordinal data, which are categorical data with an ordering of the categories. Such data occur in many application areas, for example medical and social studies. The method uses a latent variable representation of the observations and categories on the real line. ...
متن کاملRank - Based Inference for Bivariate Extreme - Value Copulas
Consider a continuous random pair (X, Y) whose dependence is characterized by an extreme-value copula with Pickands dependence function A. When the marginal distributions of X and Y are known, several consistent estimators of A are available. Most of them are variants of the estimators due to Pickands [Bull. In this paper, rank-based versions of these esti-mators are proposed for the more commo...
متن کاملNonparametric predictive utility inference
This work considers the combination of two strands of recent statistical research: that of decision making with uncertain utility and that of nonparametric predictive inference. In doing so we discuss the use of Nonparametric Predictive Utility Inference (NPUI) within a sequential decision selection problem for the situation of a Decision Maker (DM) who is confronted with a choice set that incl...
متن کاملNonparametric Predictive Inference
Nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) is a statistical method based on Hill’s assumption A(n) [13], which gives a direct conditional probability for a future observable random quantity, conditional on observed values of related random quantities [1, 3]. Suppose that X1, . . . , Xn, Xn+1 are continuous and exchangeable random quantities. Let the ordered observed values of X1, . . . , Xn be de...
