Hierarchical Models with Block Circular Covariance Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hierarchical linear models with a block circular covariance structure are considered. Sufficient conditions for obtaining explicit and unique estimators for the variance-covariance components are derived. Different restricted models are discussed and maximum likelihood estimators are presented.

Power of Models in Longitudinal Study: Findings From a Full-Crossed Simulation Design.
Because the power properties of traditional repeated measures and hierarchical multivariate linear models have not been clearly determined in the balanced design for longitudinal studies in the literature, the authors present a power comparison study of traditional repeated measures and hierarchical multivariate linear models under 3 variance-covariance structures. The results from a full-cross...
متن کاملCovariance Approximation for Large Multivariate Spatial Datasets with an Application to Multiple Climate Model Errors
This paper investigates the cross-correlations across multiple climate model errors. We build a Bayesian hierarchical model that accounts for the spatial dependence of individual models as well as cross-covariances across different climate models. Our method allows for a non-separable and non-stationary cross-covariance structure. We also present a covariance approximation approach to facilitat...

متن کاملHierarchical Gaussian Process Regression
We address an approximation method for Gaussian process (GP) regression, where we approximate covariance by a block matrix such that diagonal blocks are calculated exactly while off-diagonal blocks are approximated. Partitioning input data points, we present a two-layer hierarchical model for GP regression, where prototypes of clusters in the upper layer are involved for coarse modeling by a GP...
متن کاملSmoothing and mean-covariance estimation of functional data with a Bayesian hierarchical model
Functional data, with basic observational units being functions (e.g., curves, surfaces) varying over a continuum, are frequently encountered in various applications. While many statistical tools have been developed for functional data analysis, the issue of smoothing all functional observations simultaneously is less studied. Existing methods often focus on smoothing each individual function s...
