Empirical 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 کاملMonotone dependence in graphical models for multivariate Markov chains
We show that a deeper insight into the relations among marginal processes of a multivariate Markov chain can be gained by testing hypotheses of Granger noncausality, contemporaneous independence and monotone dependence. Granger noncausality and contemporaneous independence conditions are read off a mixed graph, and the dependence of an univariate component of the chain on its parents—according ...
متن کاملRates of Convergence for Everywhere - Positive Markov Chains
0. Introduction It is often useful to know that the distribution of a Markov process converges to a stationary distribution, and if possible to know how rapidly convergence takes place. Such rates of convergence are of particular interest when running stochastic algorithms such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (see Gelfand and Smith, 1990; Tierney, 1994), since they indicate how long the algorithm s...
متن کاملFurther Criteria for Positive Harris Recurrence of Markov Chains
We provide several necessary and sufficient conditions for a Markov chain on a general state space to be positive Harris recurrent. The conditions only concern asymptotic properties of the expected occupation measures.
متن کاملPerfect Simulation for a Class of Positive Recurrent Markov Chains
In [1] we introduced a class of positive recurrent Markov chains, named tame chains. A perfect simulation algorithm, based on the method of dominated CFTP, was then shown to exist in principle for such chains. The construction of a suitable dominating process was flawed, in that it relied on an incorrectly stated lemma ([1], Lemma 6). This claimed that a geometrically ergodic chain, subsampled ...
