Bayesian Inference for Discretely Sampled Markov Processes with closed–form Likelihood Expansions∗
This article proposes a new Bayesian MCMC methodology for estimation of a wide class of multi–dimensional Markov models. Our approach is based on the closed–form (CF) likelihood approximations of Aı̈t-Sahalia (2002, 2008). The The authors are very grateful to the referees and editors for their insightful and valuable comments. The authors also thank John Geweke for his helpful discussion on diag...
متن کاملPseudo-Likelihood Inference Underestimates Model Uncertainty: Evidence from Bayesian Nearest Neighbours
When using the K-nearest neighbours (KNN) method, one often ignores the uncertainty in the choice of K. To account for such uncertainty, Bayesian KNN (BKNN) has been proposed and studied (Holmes and Adams 2002 Cucala et al. 2009). We present some evidence to show that the pseudo-likelihood approach for BKNN, even after being corrected by Cucala et al. (2009), still significantly underest...
متن کاملApproximating Bayesian inference by weighted likelihood
The author proposes to use weighted likelihood to approximate Bayesian inference when no external or prior information is available. He proposes a weighted likelihood estimator that minimizes the empirical Bayes risk under relative entropy loss. He discusses connections among the weighted likelihood, empirical Bayes and James–Stein estimators. Both simulated and real data sets are used for illu...
متن کاملStatistical Inference: An Integrated Bayesian/Likelihood Approach
To assess the strength of evidence from the data for competing parameter values or competing models, it uses likelihood ratios between the parameter values or the models. To interpret the likelihood ratios it uses a Bayesian approach which requires in general only the non-informative priors that are widely used in posterior inference about model parameters, though it can accommodate informative...
متن کاملLikelihood-free Bayesian inference for α-stable models
α-stable distributions are utilised as models for heavy-tailed noise in many areas of statistics, finance and signal processing engineering. However, in general, neither univariate nor multivariate α-stable models admit closed form densities which can be evaluated pointwise. This complicates the inferential procedure. As a result, α-stable models are practically limited to the univariate settin...
