Adaptive Sparseness Using Jeffreys Prior
In this paper we introduce a new sparseness inducing prior which does not involve any (hyper)parameters that need to be adjusted or estimated. Although other applications are possible, we focus here on supervised learning problems: regression and classification. Experiments with several publicly available benchmark data sets show that the proposed approach yields state-of-the-art performance. I...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Inference for Means Using Student t Prior Distributions
Hierarchical models for L studies, domains or experiments often assume that the study means have a common normal population distribution. However, modeling normal sampling distributions with a normal population distribution may overstate the level of exchangeability of the studies. Using heavy tailed population distributions, in particular t distributions, provide some protection from combining...

abstract a fundamental study of “historio-graphic metafiction” and “literary genres”, as introduced in “new historical philosophy”, and tracing them in the works of julian barnes having studied the two novels, the porcupine and arthur & george, by julian barnes, the researcher has applied linda hutcheon’s historio-graphic metafictional theories to them. the thesis is divided into five cha...

چکیده: فرض کنید که تابعی از اپسیلون یک مجموع نامتناهی از احتمالات موزون مربوط به مجموع های جزئی براساس یک دنباله از متغیرهای تصادفی مستقل و همتوزیع باشد، و همچنین فرض کنید توابعی مانند g و h وجود دارند که هرگاه امید ریاضی توان دوم x متناهی و امیدریاضی x صفر باشد، در این صورت می توان حد حاصلضرب این توابع را بصورت تابعی از امید ریاضی توان دوم x نوشت. حالت عکس نیز برقرار است. همچنین ما با استفاده...
15 صفحه اولThe Uniform Prior Bayes Estimate
For the Gaussian sequence model Xi = μi + σZi, i = 1, 2, · · · , n, where Zi are iid standard normal, and σ is considered known, we give three equivalent exact formulas for the posterior mean of the mean vector μ = (μ1, · · · , μn) when μ has a uniform prior distribution in an n-dimensional solid ball of a general radius c. The exact formulas have interesting and even curious connections to non...
