Sequential Inference for Latent Force Models
Latent force models (LFMs) are hybrid models combining mechanistic principles with non-parametric components. In this article, we shall show how LFMs can be equivalently formulated and solved using the state variable approach. We shall also show how the Gaussian process prior used in LFMs can be equivalently formulated as a linear statespace model driven by a white noise process and how inferen...
متن کاملBayesian sequential inference for nonlinear multivariate diffusions
In this paper, we adapt recently developed simulation-based sequential algorithms to the problem concerning the Bayesian analysis of discretely observed diffusion processes. The estimation framework involves the introduction of m−1 latent data points between every pair of observations. Sequential MCMC methods are then used to sample the posterior distribution of the latent data and the model pa...
متن کاملA Formal Treatment of Sequential Ignorability
Taking a rigorous formal approach, we consider sequential decision problems involving observable variables, unobservable variables, and action variables. We can typically assume the property of extended stability, which allows identification (by means of "[Formula: see text]-computation") of the consequence of a specified treatment strategy if the "unobserved" variables are, in fact, observed-b...
متن کاملObjective Bayesian analysis under sequential experimentation ∗
Objective priors for sequential experiments are considered. Common priors, such as the Jeffreys prior and the reference prior, will typically depend on the stopping rule used for the sequential experiment. New expressions for reference priors are obtained in various contexts, and computational issues involving such priors are considered.
متن کاملSequential Bayesian Inference for Dynamic State Space Model Parameters
Dynamic state-space models [24], consisting of a latent Markov process X0, X1, . . . and noisy observations Y1, Y2, . . . that are conditionally independent, are used in a wide variety of applications e.g. wireless networks [8], object tracking [21], econometrics [7] etc. The model is specified by an initial distribution p(x0|✓), a transition kernel p(xt|xt 1, ✓) and an observation distribution...
