An Empirical Bayes Approach to Statistics
Let X be a random variable which for simplicity we shall assume to have discrete values x and which has a probability distribution depending in a known way on an unknown real parameter A, (1) p (xIX) =Pr [X = xIA =X], A-itself being a random variable with a priori distribution function (2) G (X) =Pr [A-< X. The unconditional probability distribution of X is then given by (3) PG(x) =Pr[X=xI =fP(...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Density Regression
In Bayesian hierarchical modeling, it is often appealing to allow the conditional density of an (observable or unobservable) random variable Y to change flexibly with categorical and continuous predictors X. A mixture of regression models is proposed, with the mixture distribution varying with X. Treating the smoothing parameters and number of mixture components as unknown, the MLE does not exi...
متن کاملAn Empirical Bayes Approach to Optimizing Machine Learning Algorithms
I Most models and the algorithms for fitting them have hyperparameters η . e.g., number of layers in a neural network, gradient descent learning rate parameters, number of topics in a topic model, prior variance. I Existing methods for choosing them include expert knowledge, grid search, random sampling, or Bayesian optimization (BayesOpt) [Snoek et al. 2012]. I BayesOpt is an automated way of ...
متن کاملAn Empirical Bayes Approach to Due Date Assignment
We consider a model in which there are m products and for each i=1,...,m, there are ni observations of the service times associated with the th i product. Assuming the service times associated with the th i product follow an exponential distribution with parameter i θ , and i θ 's are independent random variables with a common gamma distribution, with unknown parameters α and β , we provide two...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Wavelet Nonparametric Regression
Bayesian methods based on hierarchical mixture models have demonstrated excellent mean squared error properties in constructing data dependent shrinkage estimators in wavelets, however, subjective elicitation of the hyperparameters is challenging. In this chapter we use an Empirical Bayes approach to estimate the hyperparameters for each level of the wavelet decomposition, bypassing the usual d...
