چکیده
By developing data augmentation methods unique to the negative binomial (NB) distribution, we unite seemingly disjoint count and mixture models under the NB process framework. We develop fundamental properties of the models and derive efficient Gibbs sampling inference. We show that the gamma-NB process can be reduced to the hierarchical Dirichlet process with normalization, highlighting its unique theoretical, structural and computational advantages. A variety of NB processes with distinct sharing mechanisms are constructed and applied to topic modeling, with connections to existing algorithms, showing the importance of inferring both the NB dispersion and probability parameters.

Considering a Model for Sustainable Energy Planning Under Uncertainty
In this paper, real options theory is utilized to evaluate the effect of uncertain electricity and CO2 costs on speculation conduct. Methodologically, the allegiance of the newspaper in this appreciation is that uncertainty is not just stopped down as far as stochastic processes and their fluctuation, additionally as far as expected and acknowledged procedures, i.e. the procedures, w...
متن کاملA Divide and Conquer Method to Compute Binomial Ideals
A binomial is a polynomial with at most two terms. In this paper, we give a divide-and-conquer strategy to compute binomial ideals. This work is a generalization of the work done by the authors in [12, 13] and is motivated by the fact that any algorithm to compute binomial ideals spends a significant amount of time computing Gröbner basis and that Gröbner basis computation is very sensitive to ...
متن کاملEstimation of Count Data using Bivariate Negative Binomial Regression Models
Abstract Negative binomial regression model (NBR) is a popular approach for modeling overdispersed count data with covariates. Several parameterizations have been performed for NBR, and the two well-known models, negative binomial-1 regression model (NBR-1) and negative binomial-2 regression model (NBR-2), have been applied. Another parameterization of NBR is negative binomial-P regression mode...
متن کاملParallel Divide and Conquer on Meshes
We address the problem of mapping divide-and-conquer programs to mesh connected multicomputers with wormhole or store-and-forward routing. We propose the binomial tree as an eecient model of parallel divide-and-conquer and present two mappings of the binomial tree to the 2D mesh. Our mappings exploit regularity in the communication structure of the divide-and-conquer computation and are also se...
متن کاملIdentifying the change time of multivariate binomial processes for step changes and drifts
In this paper, a new control chart to monitor multi-binomial processes is first proposed based on a transformation method. Then, the maximum likelihood estimators of change points designed for both step changes and linear-trend disturbances are derived. At the end, the performances of the proposed change-point estimators are evaluated and are compared using some Monte Carlo simulation experimen...
