Rainfall Modelling Using a Latent Gaussian Variable
A monotonic transformation is applied to hourly rainfall data to achieve marginal normality. This deenes a latent Gaussian variable, with zero rainfall corresponding to censored values below a threshold. Autocor-relations of the latent v ariable are estimated by maximum likelihood. The goodness of t of the model to Edinburgh rainfall data is comparable with that of existing point process models...
متن کاملForecasting with non-homogeneous hidden Markov models
We present a Bayesian forecasting methodology of discrete-time finite statespace hidden Markov models with non-constant transition matrix that depends on a set of exogenous covariates. We describe an MCMC reversible jump algorithm for predictive inference, allowing for model uncertainty regarding the set of covariates that affect the transition matrix. We apply our models to interest rates and ...
متن کاملBayesian Learning of Gaussian Mixture Densities for Hidden Markov Models
An investigation into the use of Bayesian learning of the parameters of a multivariate Gaassian mixture density has been carried out. In a continuous density hidden Markov model (CDHMM) framework, Bayesian learning serves as a unified approach for parameter smoothing, speaker adaptation, speaker clustering, and corrective training. The goal of this study is to enhance model robustness in a CDHM...
متن کاملBayesian Hidden Markov Models for Financial Data
Hidden Markov Models, also known as Markov Switching Models, can be considered an extension of mixture models, allowing for dependent observations. The main problem associated with Hidden Markov Models is represented by the choice of the number of regimes, i.e. the number of the generating data processes, which differ one from another just for the value of the parameters. Applying a hierarchica...
متن کاملSpatial Interpolation Using Copula for non-Gaussian Modeling of Rainfall Data
‎One of the most useful tools for handling multivariate distributions of dependent variables in terms of their marginal distribution is a copula function‎. ‎The copula families capture a fair amount of attention due to their applicability and flexibility in describing the non-Gaussian spatial dependent data‎. ‎The particular properties of the spatial copula are rarely ...
