Sequential design for nonparametric inference
Performance of nonparametric function estimates often depends on the choice of design points. Based on the mean integrated squared error criterion, we propose a sequential design procedure that updates model knowledge and optimal design density sequentially. The methodology is developed under a general framework covering a wide range of nonparametric inference problems, such as conditional mean...

This paper reviews Bayesian Nonparametric methods and discusses how parametric predictive densities can be constructed using nonparametric ideas.
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Inference of Population Size Changes from Sequential Genealogies
Sophisticated inferential tools coupled with the coalescent model have recently emerged for estimating past population sizes from genomic data. Recent methods that model recombination require small sample sizes, make constraining assumptions about population size changes, and do not report measures of uncertainty for estimates. Here, we develop a Gaussian process-based Bayesian nonparametric me...
متن کاملNonparametric Inference For Density Modes
We derive nonparametric confidence intervals for the eigenvalues of the Hessian at modes of a density estimate. This provides information about the strength and shape of modes and can also be used as a significance test. We use a datasplitting approach in which potential modes are identified using the first half of the data and inference is done with the second half of the data. To get valid co...
متن کاملNonparametric Inference for Periodic Sequences
This article proposes a nonparametric method for estimating the period and values of a periodic sequence when the data are evenly spaced in time. The period is estimated by a “leave-out-one-cycle” version of cross-validation (CV) and complements the periodogram, a widely used tool for period estimation. The CV method is computationally simple and implicitly penalizes multiples of the smallest p...
