On Bayes Factors for Nonparametric
In this paper we derive global Bayes factors for the comparison of a parametric model with a nonparametric alternative. The alternative is constructed by embedding the para-metric model in a mixture of Dirichlet Processes. Results include a general explicit form for partially exchangeable sequences as well as closed form expressions in the context one-way analysis of variance. Our results raise...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Wavelet Nonparametric Regression
Bayesian methods based on hierarchical mixture models have demonstrated excellent mean squared error properties in constructing data dependent shrinkage estimators in wavelets, however, subjective elicitation of the hyperparameters is challenging. In this chapter we use an Empirical Bayes approach to estimate the hyperparameters for each level of the wavelet decomposition, bypassing the usual d...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood for Nonparametric Additive Models
Nonparametric additive modeling is a fundamental tool for statistical data analysis which allows flexible functional forms for conditional mean or quantile functions but avoids the curse of dimensionality for fully nonparametric methods induced by high-dimensional covariates. This paper proposes empirical likelihood-based inference methods for unknown functions in three types of nonparametric a...
متن کاملWavelet-based Nonparametric Bayes Methods
In this chapter, we will provide an overview of the current status of research involving Bayesian inference in wavelet nonparametric problems. In many statistical applications, there is a need for procedures to (i) adapt to data and (ii) use prior information. The interface of wavelets and the Bayesian paradigm provide a natural terrain for both of these goals.
متن کاملA nonparametric empirical Bayes framework for large-scale multiple testing.
We propose a flexible and identifiable version of the 2-groups model, motivated by hierarchical Bayes considerations, that features an empirical null and a semiparametric mixture model for the nonnull cases. We use a computationally efficient predictive recursion (PR) marginal likelihood procedure to estimate the model parameters, even the nonparametric mixing distribution. This leads to a nonp...
