Asymptotics for posterior hazards
An important issue in survival analysis is the investigation and the modeling of hazard rates. Within a Bayesian nonparametric framework, a natural and popular approach is to model hazard rates as kernel mixtures with respect to a completely random measure. In this paper we provide a comprehensive analysis of the asymptotic behavior of such models. We investigate consistency of the posterior di...
متن کامل2 The Dirichlet process , related priors and posterior asymptotics
Here we review the role of the Dirichlet process and related prior distribtions in nonparametric Bayesian inference. We discuss construction and various properties of the Dirichlet process. We then review the asymptotic properties of posterior distributions. Starting with the definition of posterior consistency and examples of inconsistency, we discuss general theorems which lead to consistency...
متن کاملAsymptotics for Linear
We prove that partial sums of linear multiparameter stochastic processes can be represented as partial sums of independent innovations plus components that are uniformly of smaller order. This representation is exploited to establish functional central limit theorems and strong approximations for random fields.
متن کاملAsymptotics for spherical needlets
We investigate invariant random fields on the sphere using a new type of spherical wavelets, called needlets. These are compactly supported in frequency and enjoy excellent localization properties in real space, with quasi-exponentially decaying tails. We show that, for random fields on the sphere, the needlet coefficients are asymptotically uncorrelated for any fixed angular distance. This pro...
متن کاملAsymptotics for Hazard Regression
In hazard regression (HARE), the logarithm of the conditional hazard function of a survival time given a covariate is modeled by a sum of polynomial splines and their tensor products. Under appropriate conditions, it has been shown that the (nonadaptive) HARE estimate of the conditional log-hazard function possesses an optimal L 2 rate of convergence. The current paper considers the L oo rates ...
