Type Ia Supernova Light Curve Inference: Hierarchical Bayesian Analysis in the near Infrared
We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of the properties of Type Ia SN light curves in the near infrared using recent data from PAIRITEL and the literature. We construct a hierarchical Bayesian framework, incorporating several uncertainties including photometric error, peculiar velocities, dust extinction and intrinsic variations, for principled and coherent statistical inference. SN I...
متن کاملHierarchical Bayesian models for unsupervised scene understanding
For very large datasets with more than a few classes, producing ground-truth data can represent a substantial, and potentially expensive, human effort. This is particularly evident when the datasets have been collected for a particular purpose, e.g. scientific inquiry, or by autonomous agents in novel and inaccessible environments. In these situations there is scope for the use of unsupervised ...
متن کاملA method of spherical harmonic analysis in the geosciences via hierarchical Bayesian inference
S U M M A R Y The problem of decomposing irregular data on the sphere into a set of spherical harmonics is common in many fields of geosciences where it is necessary to build a quantitative understanding of a globally varying field. For example, in global seismology, a compressional or shear wave speed that emerges from tomographic images is used to interpret current state and composition of th...
متن کاملBayesian inference via projections
Bayesian inference often poses difficult computational problems. Even when off-the-shelf Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are available to the problem at hand, mixing issues might compromise the quality of the results. We introduce a framework for situations where the model space can be naturally divided into two components: i. a baseline black-box probability distribution for the observ...
متن کاملBayesian nonparametric approaches for ROC curve inference
Abstract The development of medical diagnostic tests is of great importance in clinical practice, public health, and medical research. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is a popular tool for evaluating the accuracy of such tests. We review Bayesian nonparametric methods based on Dirichlet process mixtures and the Bayesian bootstrap for ROC curve estimation and regression. The me...
