Asymptotics of Symmetric Compound Poisson Population Models
Compound Poisson population models are particular conditional branching process models. A formula for the transition probabilities of the backward process for general compound Poisson models is verified. Symmetric compound Poisson models are defined in terms of a parameter θ ∈ (0,∞) and a power series φ with positive radius r of convergence. It is shown that the asymptotic behavior of symmetric...
متن کاملJUMP-Means: Small-Variance Asymptotics for Markov Jump Processes
Markov jump processes (MJPs) are used to model a wide range of phenomena from disease progression to RNA path folding. However, maximum likelihood estimation of parametric models leads to degenerate trajectories and inferential performance is poor in nonparametric models. We take a small-variance asymptotics (SVA) approach to overcome these limitations. We derive the small-variance asymptotics ...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes and Compound Estimation of Normal Means
This article concerns the canonical empirical Bayes problem of estimating normal means under squared-error loss. General empirical estimators are derived which are asymptotically minimax and optimal. Uniform convergence and the speed of convergence are considered. The general empirical Bayes estimators are compared with the shrinkage estimators of Stein (1956) and James and Stein (1961). Estima...
متن کاملSupplementary Material for Jump-means: Small-variance Asymptotics for Markov Jump Processes
To obtain the SVA objective from the parametric MJP model, we begin by scaling the exponential distribution f(t;λ) = λ exp(−λt), which is an exponential family distribution with natural parameter η = −λ, log-partition function ψ(η) = − ln(−η), and base measure ν(dt) = 1 [1]. To scale the distribution, introduce the new natural parameter η̃ = βη and log-partition function ψ̃(η̃) = βψ(η̃/β). The new ...
متن کاملDiagnosis under compound effects and multiple causes by means of the conditional causal possibility approach
The paper addresses uncertain reasoning on a causal model given by two layered networks, where nodes in one layer express possible causes and those in the other are possible e$ects. Uncertainty of causalities is expressed in a novel manner, i.e. by Conditional Causal Possibilities. The expression has two advantages over the conventional way with conditional possibilities: it expresses the exact...
