Consistency of the posterior distribution in generalized linear inverse problems

The new generalized inverse Weibull distribution

Failure rate is one of the important concepts in reliability theory. In this paper, we introduce a new distribution function containing four parameters based on inverse Weibull distribution. This new distribution has a more general form of failure rate function. It is able to model five ageing classes of life distributions with appropriate choice of parameter values so that it is displayed decr...

Sampling from the posterior distribution in generalized linear mixed models

Ill-Posed and Linear Inverse Problems

In this paper ill-posed linear inverse problems that arises in many applications is considered. The instability of special kind of these problems and it's relation to the kernel, is described. For finding a stable solution to these problems we need some kind of regularization that is presented. The results have been applied for a singular equation.

Regularization of linear inverse problems with total generalized variation

The regularization properties of the total generalized variation (TGV) functional for the solution of linear inverse problems by means of Tikhonov regularization are studied. Considering the associated minimization problem for general symmetric tensor fields, the wellposedness is established in the space of symmetric tensor fields of bounded deformation, a generalization of the space of functio...

Posterior consistency in conditional distribution estimation

A wide variety of priors have been proposed for nonparametric Bayesian estimation of conditional distributions, and there is a clear need for theorems providing conditions on the prior for large support, as well as posterior consistency. Estimation of an uncountable collection of conditional distributions across different regions of the predictor space is a challenging problem, which differs in...
