چکیده مقاله:

Statistical models are utilized to learn about the mechanism that the data are generating from it. Often it is assumed that the random variables y_i,i=1,…,n ,are samples from the probability distribution F which is belong to a parametric distributions class. However, in practice, a parametric model may be inappropriate to describe the data. In this settings, the parametric assumption could be relaxed and more flexible models could be used analysis of data. In the nonparametric Bayes approach, a prior distributions is defined over the whole space of probability distributions for random variable distribution. Due to the Dirichlet process (DP) has interesting properties, it is thus used extensively. In this paper, we introduce DP and its features.

Bayesian Nonparametric Modelling with the Dirichlet Process Regression Smoother

In this paper we discuss implementing Bayesian fully nonparametric regression by defining a process prior on distributions which depend on covariates. We consider the problem of centring our process over a class of regression models and propose fully nonparametric regression models with flexible location structures. We also introduce a non-trivial extension of a dependent finite mixture model p...

Spiked Dirichlet Process Prior for Bayesian Multiple Hypothesis Testing in Random Effects Models.

We propose a Bayesian method for multiple hypothesis testing in random effects models that uses Dirichlet process (DP) priors for a nonparametric treatment of the random effects distribution. We consider a general model formulation which accommodates a variety of multiple treatment conditions. A key feature of our method is the use of a product of spiked distributions, i.e., mixtures of a point...

A Computational Approach for Full Nonparametric Bayesian Inference Under Dirichlet Process Mixture Models

Widely used parametricgeneralizedlinearmodels are, unfortunately,a somewhat limited class of speciŽ cations. Nonparametric aspects are often introduced to enrich this class, resulting in semiparametricmodels. Focusingon single or k-sample problems,many classical nonparametricapproachesare limited to hypothesis testing.Those that allow estimation are limited to certain functionals of the underly...

An Alternative Prior Process for Nonparametric Bayesian Clustering

Prior distributions play a crucial role in Bayesian approaches to clustering. Two commonly-used prior distributions are the Dirichlet and Pitman-Yor processes. In this paper, we investigate the predictive probabilities that underlie these processes, and the implicit “rich-get-richer” characteristic of the resulting partitions. We explore an alternative prior for nonparametric Bayesian clusterin...

Variational Inference for Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Based Nonparametric Models

We examine two popular statistical models, the hidden Markov model and mixed membership stochastic blockmodel. Using the hierarchical Dirichlet process, we define nonparametric variants of these models. We develop a memoized online variational inference algorithm that uses a new objective function to properly penalize the addition of unneeded states in either model. Finally, we demonstrate that...
