Marginal likelihood estimation via power posteriors
Model choice plays an increasingly important role in Statistics. From a Bayesian perspective a crucial goal is to compute the marginal likelihood of the data for a given model. This however is typically a difficult task since it amounts to integrating over all model parameters. The aim of this paper is to illustrate how this may be achieved using ideas from thermodynamic integration or path sam...
متن کاملGeneral Maximum Likelihood Empirical Bayes Estimation of Normal Means
We propose a general maximum likelihood empirical Bayes (GMLEB) method for the estimation of a mean vector based on observations with iid normal errors. We prove that under mild moment conditions on the means, the average mean squared error (MSE) of the GMLEB is within an infinitesimal fraction of the minimum average MSE among all separable estimators which use a single deterministic estimating...
متن کاملAn Improved Bayes Empirical Bayes Estimator
Consider an experiment yielding an observable random quantity X whose distribution Fθ depends on a parameter θ with θ being distributed according to some distribution G0. We study the Bayesian estimation problem of θ under squared error loss function based on X, as well as some additional data available from other similar experiments according to an empirical Bayes structure. In a recent paper,...
متن کاملLecture 22: Maximum Likelihood Estimator
In the first part of this lecture, we will deal with the consistency and asymptotic distribution of maximum likelihood estimator. The second part of the lecture focuses on signal estimation/tracking. An estimator is said to be consistent if it converges to the quantity being estimated. This section speaks about the consistency of MLE and conditions under which MLE is consistent.
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes and the James–Stein Estimator
Charles Stein shocked the statistical world in 1955 with his proof that maximum likelihood estimation methods for Gaussian models, in common use for more than a century, were inadmissible beyond simple oneor twodimensional situations. These methods are still in use, for good reasons, but Stein-type estimators have pointed the way toward a radically different empirical Bayes approach to high-dim...
