Frequentist Optimality of Bayes Factor Estimators in Wavelet Regression Models
We investigate the theoretical performance of Bayes factor estimators in wavelet regression models with independent and identically distributed errors that are not necessarily normally distributed. We compare these estimators in terms of their frequentist optimality in Besov spaces for a wide variety of error and prior distributions. Furthermore, we provide sufficient conditions that determine ...
متن کاملFrequentist Consistency of Variational Bayes
A key challenge for modern Bayesian statistics is how to perform scalable inference of posterior distributions. To address this challenge, variational Bayes (vb) methods have emerged as a popular alternative to the classical Markov chain Monte Carlo (mcmc) methods. vb methods tend to be faster while achieving comparable predictive performance. However, there are few theoretical results around v...
متن کاملBias Reduction for Bayesian and Frequentist Estimators
We show that in parametric likelihood models the first order bias in the posterior mode and the posterior mean can be removed using objective Bayesian priors. These bias-reducing priors are defined as the solution to a set of differential equations which may not be available in closed form. We provide a simple and tractable data dependent prior that solves the differential equations asymptotica...
متن کاملUnbiasedness and Bayes Estimators
A simple geometric representation of Bayes and unbiased rules for squared error loss is provided. Some orthogonality relationships between them and the functions they are estimating are proved. Bayes estimators are shown to be behave asymptotically like unbiased estimators.
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...
