Parameter Estimation for Hidden Markov Models with Intractable Likelihoods
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a popular technique for approximating likelihoods and is often used in parameter estimation when the likelihood functions are analytically intractable. Although the use of ABC is widespread in many fields, there has been little investigation of the theoretical properties of the resulting estimators. In this paper we give a theoretical analysis of the as...
متن کاملLatent Parameter Estimation in Fusion Networks Using Separable Likelihoods
Multi-sensor state space models underpin fusion applications in networks of sensors. Estimation of latent parameters in these models has the potential to provide highly desirable capabilities such as network self-calibration. Conventional solutions to the problem pose difficulties in scaling with the number of sensors due to the joint multi-sensor filtering involved when evaluating the paramete...
متن کاملParameter estimation without confidence intervals?
Fukuhara and Hori’s article [1] reported the possibility of calculating the incidence of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) using publicly accessible data in Japan. If the method were valid and satisfied statistical assumptions, overcoming the limitation of the source of the data, known as Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) data, this suggestion could be an innovative method. Becaus...
متن کاملParameter estimation without confidence intervals?
We greatly appreciate the comments contributed by one of the peer reviewers. Apparently, his comments have clearly sorted out the limitations our article involves. We recognize all the limitations and still, we believe the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) system in Japan is worth being aware of as a novel medical database in Asia. As for the first point, the DPC database only involves 65.1...
متن کاملLikelihoods and Parameter Priors for
We develop simple methods for constructing likelihoods and parameter priors for learning about the parameters and structure of a Bayesian network. In particular, we introduce several assumptions that permit the construction of likelihoods and parameter priors for a large number of Bayesian-network structures from a small set of assessments. The most notable assumption is that of likelihood equi...
