Generalized Marginal Likelihood for Gaussian mixtures
The dominant approach in Bernoulli-Gaussian myopic deconvolution consists in the joint maximization of a single Generalized Likelihood with respect to the input signal and the hyperparameters. The aim of this correspondence is to assess the theoretical properties of a related Generalized Marginal Likelihood criterion in a simpliied framework where the lter is reduced to identity. Then the outpu...
متن کاملBayesian Model Selection in Finite Mixtures by Marginal Density Decompositions
We consider the problem of estimating the number of components d and the unknown mixing distribution in a nite mixture model, in which d is bounded by some xed nite number N . Our approach relies on the use of a prior over the space of mixing distributions with at most N components . By decomposing the resulting marginal density under this prior, we discover a weighted Bayes factor method...
متن کاملAn Approximate Fisher Scoring Algorithm for Finite Mixtures of Multinomials
Finite mixture distributions arise naturally in many applications including clustering and classification. Since they usually do not yield closed forms for maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs), numerical methods using the well known Fisher Scoring or Expectation-Maximization algorithms are considered. In this work, an approximation to the Fisher Information Matrix of an arbitrary mixture of mult...
متن کاملMarginal Likelihood Integrals for Mixtures of Independence Models
Inference in Bayesian statistics involves the evaluation of marginal likelihood integrals. We present algebraic algorithms for computing such integrals exactly for discrete data of small sample size. Our methods apply to both uniform priors and Dirichlet priors. The underlying statistical models are mixtures of independent distributions, or, in geometric language, secant varieties of Segre-Vero...
متن کاملAn approximate Bayesian computation approach for estimating parameters of complex environmental processes in a cellular automata
Modelling an environmental process involves creating a model structure and parameterising the model with appropriate values to accurately represent the process. Determining accurate parameter values for environmental systems can be challenging. Existing methods for parameter estimation typically make assumptions regarding the form of the Likelihood, and will often ignore any uncertainty around ...
