Rebayes: an R Package for Empirical Bayes Mixture Methods
Models of unobserved heterogeneity, or frailty as it is commonly known in survival analysis, can often be formulated as semiparametric mixture models and estimated by maximum likelihood as proposed by Robbins (1950) and elaborated by Kiefer and Wolfowitz (1956). Recent developments in convex optimization, as noted by Koenker and Mizera (2014b), have led to dramatic improvements in computational...
متن کاملBayesMix: An R package for Bayesian Mixture Modeling
The R package BayesMix provides the functionality for estimating univariate Gaussian mixture models with MCMC methods. Within a given model class users can modify the prior specifications and the initial values for developing a suitable model for their data. Furthermore, tools for analyzing the output of the MCMC simulations as, e.g., diagnostic plots, are available. The package is intended to ...
متن کاملmixtools: An R Package for Analyzing Finite Mixture Models
The mixtools package for R provides a set of functions for analyzing a variety of finite mixture models. These functions include both traditional methods, such as EM algorithms for univariate and multivariate normal mixtures, and newer methods that reflect some recent research in finite mixture models. In the latter category, mixtools provides algorithms for estimating parameters in a wide rang...
متن کاملAn empirical Bayes method for gene expression analysis in R
In recent years the new technology of microarrays has made it feasible to measure expression of thousands of genes to identify changes between different biological states. In such biological experiments we are confronted with the problem of high-dimensionality because of thousands of genes involved and at the same time with small sample sizes (due to limited availability of cases). The set of d...
متن کاملEbayesThresh: R Programs for Empirical Bayes Thresholding
Suppose that a sequence of unknown parameters is observed subject to independent Gaussian noise. The EbayesThresh package in the S language implements a class of Empirical Bayes thresholding methods that can take advantage of possible sparsity in the sequence, to improve the quality of estimation. The prior for each parameter in the sequence is a mixture of an atom of probability at zero and a ...
