A Bayesian nonparametric estimation to entropy

Bayesian Nonparametric Bioassay Estimation

Estimation of unknown pesticide levels in experimental samples is an important aspect of many agricultural and environmental studies. Such measurements are often made utilizing a “standard” dose response curve. This methodology compares the biological response of a target organism at known dosages to the response of the same organism exposed to an unknown sample. These “bioassays” are typically...

Nonparametric entropy estimation : an overview ∗

We assume that H(f) is well-defined and is finite. The concept of differential entropy was introduced in Shannon’s original paper ([55]). Since then, entropy has been of great theoretical and applied interest. The basic properties ∗This research was supported by the Scientific Exchange Program between the Belgian Academy of Sciences and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in the field of Mathemat...

Nonparametric Regression Approach to Bayesian Estimation

Estimation of unknown parameters and functions involved in complex nonlinear econometric models is a very important issue. Existing estimation methods include generalised method of moments (GMM) by Hansen (1982) and others, efficient method of moments (EMM) by Gallant and Tauchen (1997), Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method by Chernozhukov and Hong (2003), and nonparametric simulated maximum ...
