A computational framework for empirical Bayes inference
In empirical Bayes inference one is typically interested in sampling from the posterior distribution of a parameter with a hyper-parameter set to its maximum likelihood estimate. This is often problematic particularly when the likelihood function of the hyper-parameter is not available in closed form and the posterior distribution is intractable. Previous works have dealt with this problem usin...

15 صفحه اولcoin: A Computational Framework for Conditional Inference
The coin package implements a unified approach for conditional inference procedures commonly known as permutation tests. The theoretical basis of design and implementation is the unified framework for permutation tests given by Strasser and Weber (1999). For a very flexible formulation of multivariate linear statistics, Strasser and Weber (1999) derived the conditional expectation and covarianc...
متن کاملA nonparametric empirical Bayes framework for large-scale multiple testing.
We propose a flexible and identifiable version of the 2-groups model, motivated by hierarchical Bayes considerations, that features an empirical null and a semiparametric mixture model for the nonnull cases. We use a computationally efficient predictive recursion (PR) marginal likelihood procedure to estimate the model parameters, even the nonparametric mixing distribution. This leads to a nonp...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Inference for Means Using Student t Prior Distributions
Hierarchical models for L studies, domains or experiments often assume that the study means have a common normal population distribution. However, modeling normal sampling distributions with a normal population distribution may overstate the level of exchangeability of the studies. Using heavy tailed population distributions, in particular t distributions, provide some protection from combining...
