Testing for Monotone Increasing Hazard Rate
A test of the null hypothesis that a hazard rate is monotone nondecreasing, versus the alternative that it is not, is proposed. Both the test statistic and the means of calibrating it are new. Unlike previous approaches, neither is based on the assumption that the null distribution is exponential. Instead, empirical information is used to effectively identify and eliminate from further consider...
متن کاملClustering for Multiplicative Mixtures of Distributions in Exponential Families
Estimating unknown parameters from observed data generated by a mixture of distributions in the exponential family is a useful and well-studied problem in statistics [1, 2, 7, 8]. This paper investigates this problem from the viewpoint of computational geometry. We de ne an analogue to the problem in a setting of geometric clustering, speci cally introduce a multiplicative version of the likeli...
متن کاملReference priors for exponential families with increasing dimension
In this article, we establish the asymptotic normality of the posterior distribution for the natural parameter in an exponential family based on independent and identically distributed data. The mode of convergence is expected Kullback-Leibler distance and the number of parameters p is increasing with the sample size n. Using this, we give an asymptotic expansion of the Shannon mutual informati...
متن کاملSimplification and hierarchical representations of mixtures of exponential families
A mixture model in statistics is a powerful framework commonly used to estimate the probability measure function of a random variable. Most algorithms handling mixture models were originally specifically designed for processing mixtures of Gaussians. However, other distributions such as Poisson, multinomial, Gamma/Beta have gained interest in signal processing in the past decades. These common ...
متن کاملNonparametric Regression in Natural Exponential Families
Abstract: Theory and methodology for nonparametric regression have been particularly well developed in the case of additive homoscedastic Gaussian noise. Inspired by asymptotic equivalence theory, there have been ongoing efforts in recent years to construct explicit procedures that turn other function estimation problems into a standard nonparametric regression with Gaussian noise. Then in prin...
