L1-Consistency of Dirichlet Mixtures in Multivariate Bayesian Density Estimation
Density estimation, especially multivariate density estimation, is a fundamental problem in nonparametric inference. Dirichlet mixture priors are often used in practice for such problem. However, asymptotic properties of such priors have only been studied in the univariate case. We extend L1-consistency of Dirichlet mixutures in the multivariate density estimation setting. We obtain such a resu...
متن کاملAdaptive Bayesian multivariate density estimation with Dirichlet mixtures
We show that rate-adaptive multivariate density estimation can be performed using Bayesian methods based on Dirichlet mixtures of normal kernels with a prior distribution on the kernel’s covariance matrix parameter. We derive sufficient conditions on the prior specification that guarantee convergence to a true density at a rate that is minimax optimal for the smoothness class to which the true ...
متن کاملBayesian multivariate density estimation for observables and random effects
Multivariate density estimation is approached using Bayesian nonparametric mixture of normals models. Two models are developed which are both centred over a multivariate normal distribution but make different prior assumptions about how the unknown distribution departs from a normal distribution. The priors are applied to density estimation of both observables and random effects (or other unobs...
متن کاملBayesian adaptive bandwidth kernel density estimation of irregular multivariate distributions
Kernel density estimation is an important technique for understanding the distributional properties of data. Some investigations have found that the estimation of a global bandwidth can be heavily affected by observations in the tail. We propose to categorize data into lowand high-density regions, to which we assign two different bandwidths called the low-density adaptive bandwidths. We derive ...
متن کاملAdaptive Bayesian Density Estimation with Location-Scale Mixtures
Abstract: We study convergence rates of Bayesian density estimators based on finite location-scale mixtures of a kernel proportional to exp{−|x|p}. We construct a finite mixture approximation of densities whose logarithm is locally β-Hölder, with squared integrable Hölder constant. Under additional tail and moment conditions, the approximation is minimax for both the Kullback-Leibler divergence...
