Wavelet-based Nonparametric Bayes Methods

چکیده
In this chapter, we will provide an overview of the current status of research involving Bayesian inference in wavelet nonparametric problems. In many statistical applications, there is a need for procedures to (i) adapt to data and (ii) use prior information. The interface of wavelets and the Bayesian paradigm provide a natural terrain for both of these goals.

Functional clustering by Bayesian wavelet methods
We propose a nonparametric Bayes wavelet model for clustering of functional data. The wavelet-based methodology is aimed at the resolution of generic global and local features during clustering and is suitable for clustering high dimensional data. Based on the Dirichlet process, the nonparametric Bayes model extends the scope of traditional Bayes wavelet methods to functional clustering and all...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Wavelet Nonparametric Regression
Bayesian methods based on hierarchical mixture models have demonstrated excellent mean squared error properties in constructing data dependent shrinkage estimators in wavelets, however, subjective elicitation of the hyperparameters is challenging. In this chapter we use an Empirical Bayes approach to estimate the hyperparameters for each level of the wavelet decomposition, bypassing the usual d...
متن کاملWavelet Estimators in Nonparametric Regression: A Comparative Simulation Study
Wavelet analysis has been found to be a powerful tool for the nonparametric estimation of spatially-variable objects. We discuss in detail wavelet methods in nonparametric regression, where the data are modelled as observations of a signal contaminated with additive Gaussian noise, and provide an extensive review of the vast literature of wavelet shrinkage and wavelet thresholding estimators de...
متن کاملBayesian Wavelet Shrinkage for Nonparametric Mixed-effects Models
The main purpose of this article is to study the wavelet shrinkage method from a Bayesian viewpoint. Nonparametric mixed-effects models are proposed and used for interpretation of the Bayesian structure. Bayes and empirical Bayes estimation are discussed. The latter is shown to have the Gauss-Markov type optimality (i.e., BLUP), to be equivalent to a method of regularization estimator (MORE), a...
متن کاملMultivariate nonparametric regression using lifting
For regularly spaced one-dimensional data wavelet shrinkage has proven to be a compelling method for nonparametric function estimation. We argue that this is not the case for irregularly spaced data in two or higher dimensions. This article develops three methods for the multiscale analysis of irregularly spaced data based on the recently developed lifting paradigm by “lifting one coefficient a...
