Optimal direction Gibbs sampler for truncated multivariate normal distributions
Generalized Gibbs samplers simulate from any direction, not necessarily limited to the coordinate directions of the parameters of the objective function. We study how to optimally choose such directions in a random scan Gibbs sampler setting. We consider that optimal directions will be those that minimize the Kullback-Leibler divergence of two Markov chain Monte Carlo steps. Two distributions o...
متن کاملAsymptotically Optimal Sequential Tests for Nonhomogeneous Processes
It is shown that under certain conditions the matrix sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) and the combinations of \rejecting" SPRTs minimize all moments of the stopping time distribution in the problem of sequential testing of several simple hypotheses for nonhomogeneous processes when probabilities of errors tend to zero. We consider the general case of observation process with discrete or...
متن کاملClustering Multivariate Normal Distributions
In this paper, we consider the task of clustering multivariate normal distributions with respect to the relative entropy into a prescribed number, k, of clusters using a generalization of Lloyd’s k-means algorithm [1]. We revisit this information-theoretic clustering problem under the auspices of mixed-type Bregman divergences, and show that the approach of Davis and Dhillon [2] (NIPS*06) can a...
متن کاملLocally asymptotically optimal tests for nonlinear time-series models
Based on the local asymptotic normality (LAN) of the log-likelihood ratio statistic, we proposed some distribution-free tests for examining simultaneously hypotheses about the conditional mean and the conditional variance functions in time series models. Our results are established under stationarity and ergodicity conditions with unspecified "innovation" densities under the null hypothesis as ...
متن کاملLocally Asymptotically Optimal Tests for Autoregressive against Bilinear Serial Dependence
Locally asymptotically most stringent tests for autoregressive against diagonal bilinear time series models are derived. A (restricted) local asymptotic normality property is therefore established for bilinear processes in the vicinity of linear autoregressive ones. The behaviour of the bispectrum under local alternatives of bilinear dependence shows the danger of misinterpreting skewness or ku...
