Empirical Bayes Gibbs sampling.
The wide applicability of Gibbs sampling has increased the use of more complex and multi-level hierarchical models. To use these models entails dealing with hyperparameters in the deeper levels of a hierarchy. There are three typical methods for dealing with these hyperparameters: specify them, estimate them, or use a 'flat' prior. Each of these strategies has its own associated problems. In th...
متن کاملBayes and Gibbs Estimations, Empirical Processes, and Resolution of Singularities
Abstract. This paper clarifies the generalization errors of Bayes and Gibbs estimations in non-identifiable statistical models based on algebraic geometry and empirical process theory. First, the concrete results are proven for statistical models with normal crossing singularities. Second, they are generalized for all models by using Hironaka’s desingularization theorem. The Bayes generalizatio...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
متن کاملOn particle Gibbs sampling
The particle Gibbs sampler is a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to sample from the full posterior distribution of a state-space model. It does so by executing Gibbs sampling steps on an extended target distribution defined on the space of the auxiliary variables generated by an interacting particle system. This paper makes the following contributions to the theoretical study of this a...
متن کاملHerded Gibbs Sampling
The Gibbs sampler is one of the most popular algorithms for inference in statistical models. In this paper, we introduce a herding variant of this algorithm, called herded Gibbs, that is entirely deterministic. We prove that herded Gibbs has an O(1/T ) convergence rate for models with independent variables and for fully connected probabilistic graphical models. Herded Gibbs is shown to outperfo...
