متن کاملBayesian Density Regression and Predictor-dependent Clustering
JU-HYUN PARK: Bayesian Density Regression and Predictor-Dependent Clustering. (Under the direction of Dr. David Dunson.) Mixture models are widely used in many application areas, with finite mixtures of Gaussian distributions applied routinely in clustering and density estimation. With the increasing need for a flexible model for predictor-dependent clustering and conditional density estimation...
متن کاملBayesian Semiparametric Structural Equation Models with Latent Variables
Structural equation models (SEMs) with latent variables are widely useful for sparse covariance structure modeling and for inferring relationships among latent variables. Bayesian SEMs are appealing in allowing for the incorporation of prior information and in providing exact posterior distributions of unknowns, including the latent variables. In this article, we propose a broad class of semipa...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals for a Semiparametric Approach to Modeling Nonlinear Relations among Latent Variables
Compared to parametric models, nonparametric and semiparametric approaches to modeling nonlinearity between latent variables have the advantage of recovering global relationships of unknown functional form. Bauer (2005) proposed an indirect application of finite mixtures of structural equation models where latent components are estimated in the service of more flexibly recovering characteristic...
متن کاملMCMC Methods for Bayesian Mixtures of Copulas
Applications of copula models have been increasing in number in recent years. This class of models provides a modular parameterization of joint distributions: the specification of the marginal distributions is parameterized separately from the dependence structure of the joint, a convenient way of encoding a model for domains such as finance. Some recent advances on how to specify copulas for a...
