Variational Bayes with synthetic likelihood
Synthetic likelihood is an attractive approach to likelihood-free inference when an approximately Gaussian summary statistic for the data, informative for inference about the parameters, is available. The synthetic likelihood method derives an approximate likelihood function from a plug-in normal density estimate for the summary statistic, with plug-in mean and covariance matrix obtained by Mon...
متن کاملTo Bayes or not to Bayes ….
A goal that I have set for myself as Editor is to add some new features to our standard fare of erudite technical articles. There are always times when those who do science need to pause and reflect about the broader implications of what they do. It occurred to me that an occasional column by writers who want to probe into such matters might interest a large cross-section of our readers. Drs. J...
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 کاملMarginal Likelihood and Bayes Factors for Dirichlet Process Mixture Models
We present a method for comparing semiparametric Bayesian models, constructed under the Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) framework, with alternative semiparameteric or parameteric Bayesian models. A distinctive feature of the method is that it can be applied to semiparametric models containing covariates and hierarchical prior structures, and is apparently the rst method of its kind. Formally,...
