Estimating Ratios of Normalizing Constants for Densities with Diierent Dimensions Normalizing Constants with Diierent Dimensions
In Bayesian inference, a Bayes factor is deened as the ratio of posterior odds versus prior odds where posterior odds is simply a ratio of the normalizing constants of two posterior densities. In many practical problems, the two posteriors have diierent dimensions. For such cases, the current Monte Carlo methods such as the bridge sampling method (Meng and Wong 1996), the path sampling method (...
متن کاملComputing confidence intervals for log-concave densities
Log-concave density estimation is considered as an alternative for kernel density estimations which does not depend on tuning parameters. Pointwise asymptotic theory has been already developed for the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of a log-concave density. Here, the practical aspects of this theory are studied. In order to obtain a confidence interval, estimators of the constants a...
متن کاملOptimal Concentration of Information Content For Log-Concave Densities
An elementary proof is provided of sharp bounds for the varentropy of random vectors with log-concave densities, as well as for deviations of the information content from its mean. These bounds significantly improve on the bounds obtained by Bobkov and Madiman (Ann. Probab., 39(4):1528–1543, 2011). Mathematics Subject Classification (2010). Primary 52A40; Secondary 60E15, 94A17.
متن کاملA note on generating random variables with log-concave densities
We present a black-box style rejection method that is valid for generating random variables with any log-concave density, provided that one knows a mode of the density, which is known only up to a constant factor.
متن کاملGLOBAL RATES OF CONVERGENCE OF THE MLES OF LOG-CONCAVE AND s-CONCAVE DENSITIES BY CHARLES
R d is log-concave if p = e where φ :Rd → [−∞,∞) is concave. We denote the class of all such densities p on R by Pd,0. Log-concave densities are always unimodal and have convex level sets. Furthermore, log-concavity is preserved under marginalization and convolution. Thus, the classes of log-concave densities can be viewed as natural nonparametric extensions of the class of Gaussian densities. ...
