A Kullback-Leibler Divergence for Bayesian Model Diagnostics.
This paper considers a Kullback-Leibler distance (KLD) which is asymptotically equivalent to the KLD by Goutis and Robert [1] when the reference model (in comparison to a competing fitted model) is correctly specified and that certain regularity conditions hold true (ref. Akaike [2]). We derive the asymptotic property of this Goutis-Robert-Akaike KLD under certain regularity conditions. We also...
متن کاملPenalized Bregman Divergence Estimation via Coordinate Descent
Variable selection via penalized estimation is appealing for dimension reduction. For penalized linear regression, Efron, et al. (2004) introduced the LARS algorithm. Recently, the coordinate descent (CD) algorithm was developed by Friedman, et al. (2007) for penalized linear regression and penalized logistic regression and was shown to gain computational superiority. This paper explores...
متن کاملBig-data Feature Screening Using Bregman Divergence
Modern biomedical data usually are big: they have high dimensions and/or massive volumes as a result of fast advancement in sensing and information technologies. Many components of the data, however, may not play any important role for tasks of interest. Reducing the dimensionality of the data turns out to be critical for obtaining accurate result and a good generalization capability. This pape...
متن کاملModel Diagnostics for Bayesian Networks
Assessing fit of psychometric models has always been an issue of enormous interest, but there exists no unanimously agreed upon item fit diagnostic for the models. Bayesian networks, frequently used in educational assessments (see, for example, Mislevy, Almond, Yan, & Steinberg, 2001) primarily for learning about students’ knowledge and skills, are no exception. This paper employs the posterior...
متن کاملConvex Relaxations of Bregman Divergence Clustering
Although many convex relaxations of clustering have been proposed in the past decade, current formulations remain restricted to spherical Gaussian or discriminative models and are susceptible to imbalanced clusters. To address these shortcomings, we propose a new class of convex relaxations that can be flexibly applied to more general forms of Bregman divergence clustering. By basing these new ...
