Empirical 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 کاملMultiple Testing, Empirical Bayes, and the Variable-Selection Problem
This paper studies the multiplicity-correction effect of standard Bayesian variableselection priors in linear regression. The first goal of the paper is to clarify when, and how, multiplicity correction is automatic in Bayesian analysis, and contrast this multiplicity correction with the Bayesian Ockham’s-razor effect. Secondly, we contrast empirical-Bayes and fully Bayesian approaches to varia...
متن کاملAn Empirical-Bayes Score for Discrete Bayesian Networks
Bayesian network structure learning is often performed in a Bayesian setting, by evaluating candidate structures using their posterior probabilities for a given data set. Score-based algorithms then use those posterior probabilities as an objective function and return the maximum a posteriori network as the learned model. For discrete Bayesian networks, the canonical choice for a posterior scor...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation of Reliability
Assessment of the reliability of various types of equipment relies on statistical inference about characteristics of reliability such as reliability function, mean lifetime of the devices, or failure rate. General techniques of statistical inference (estimation and hypotheses testing) are reviewed in Estimation; Least-Squares Estimation; Maximum Likelihood; Nonparametric Tests; Hypothesis Testi...
متن کاملThe Empirical Bayes Estimator and Mixed Distributions
The empirical Bayes estimator of the probability of a successful event is deduced from mixed distributions. Specially, binomial and Poisson mixed distributions are analyzed. Some mixing distributions, well known in Reliability, Queuing Theory and other areas of Engineering, are considered. As it will be shown, a family of estimators with interesting characteristics is obtained for different mix...
