Polya tree distributions for statistical modeling of censored data
Polya tree distributions extend the idea of the Dirichlet process as a prior for Bayesian nonparametric problems. Finite dimensional distributions are defined through conditional probabilities in P . This allows for a specification of prior information which carries greater weight where it is deemed appropriate according to the choice of a partition of the sample space. Muliere and Walker[7] co...
متن کاملBayesian Melding of Deterministic Models and Kriging for Analysis of Spatially Dependent Data
The link between geographic information systems and decision making approach own the invention and development of spatial data melding method. These methods combine different data sets, to achieve better results. In this paper, the Bayesian melding method for combining the measurements and outputs of deterministic models and kriging are considered. Then the ozone data in Tehran city are analyze...
متن کاملMixtures of Polya Trees for Flexible Spatial Frailty Survival Modeling
Mixtures of Polya trees offer a very flexible, nonparametric approach for modeling timeto-event data. Many such settings also feature spatial association that requires further sophistication, either at a point (geostatistical) or areal (lattice) level. In this paper we combine these two aspects within three competing survival models, obtaining a data analytic approach that remains computational...
متن کاملRubbery Polya Tree.
Polya trees (PT) are random probability measures which can assign probability 1 to the set of continuous distributions for certain specifications of the hyperparameters. This feature distinguishes the PT from the popular Dirichlet process (DP) model which assigns probability 1 to the set of discrete distributions. However, the PT is not nearly as widely used as the DP prior. Probably the main r...
متن کاملNonparametric Tree-Structured Modeling for Interval-Censored Survival Data
Survival analysis has been a major research area in statistics. In survival analysis, time to some event is usually the outcome variable. The objective of a survival study is to identify the relationship between treatments, risk factors or other covariates and the time to event. However, in a real clinical trial or longitudinal study, the exact time to event for each participant is not always k...
