Bayesian Nonparametric Inference for Nonhomogeneous Poisson Processes
Several classes of nonparametric priors are employed to model the rate of occurrence of failures of the nonhomogeneous Poisson process used in software reliability or in repairable systems. The classes include the gamma process prior, the beta process prior, and the extended gamma process prior. We derive the posterior distribution for each process. Sampling based methods are developed for Baye...
متن کاملExact Statistical Inference for Some Parametric Nonhomogeneous Poisson Processes
Nonhomogeneous Poisson processes (NHPPs) are often used to model recurrent events, and there is thus a need to check model fit for such models. We study the problem of obtaining exact goodness-of-fit tests for certain parametric NHPPs, using a method based on Monte Carlo simulation conditional on sufficient statistics. A closely related way of obtaining exact confidence intervals in parametri...
متن کاملPosterior consistency for Gaussian process approximations of Bayesian posterior distributions
We study the use of Gaussian process emulators to approximate the parameter-to-observation map or the negative log-likelihood in Bayesian inverse problems. We prove error bounds on the Hellinger distance between the true posterior distribution and various approximations based on the Gaussian process emulator. Our analysis includes approximations based on the mean of the predictive process, as w...
متن کاملA Note on Posterior Consistency of Nonparametric Poisson Regression Models
We introduce a new truncation approach to extend earlier methods for proving consistency in nonparametric Bayesian regression problems to non-compact state spaces. We illustrate the approach by proving posterior consistency for a nonparametric Poisson regression model. The key step is separating points in the parameter space by constructing hypothesis tests with suitably small error rates; we d...
متن کاملBayesian non-parametric inference for -coalescents: posterior consistency and a parametric method
We investigate Bayesian non-parametric inference of the Λ-measure of Λ-coalescent processes with recurrent mutation, parametrised by probability measures on the unit interval. We give verifiable criteria on the prior for posterior consistency when observations form a time series, and prove that any non-trivial prior is inconsistent when all observations are contemporaneous. We then show that th...
