Bayesian nonparametric regression with varying residual density.
We consider the problem of robust Bayesian inference on the mean regression function allowing the residual density to change flexibly with predictors. The proposed class of models is based on a Gaussian process prior for the mean regression function and mixtures of Gaussians for the collection of residual densities indexed by predictors. Initially considering the homoscedastic case, we propose ...
متن کاملState Price Density Estimation via Nonparametric Mixtures
We consider nonparametric estimation of the state price density encapsulated in option prices. Unlike usual density estimation problems, we only observe option prices and their corresponding strike prices rather than samples from the state price density. We propose to model the state price density directly with a nonparametric mixture and estimate it using least squares. We show that although t...
متن کاملBayesian density estimation and model selection using nonparametric hierarchical mixtures
We consider mixtures of parametric densities on the positive reals with a normalized generalized gamma process (Brix, 1999) as mixing measure. This class of mixtures encompasses the Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) model, but it is supposedly more flexible in the detection of clusters in the data. With an almost sure approximation of the posterior distribution of the mixing process we can run a ...
متن کاملStatistical Topology Using the Nonparametric Density Estimation and Bootstrap Algorithm
This paper presents approximate confidence intervals for each function of parameters in a Banach space based on a bootstrap algorithm. We apply kernel density approach to estimate the persistence landscape. In addition, we evaluate the quality distribution function estimator of random variables using integrated mean square error (IMSE). The results of simulation studies show a significant impro...
متن کاملNonparametric Density Estimation using Wavelets
Here the problem of density estimation using wavelets is considered. Nonparametric wavelet density estimators have recently been proposed and seem to outperform classical estimators in representing discontinuities and local oscillations. The purpose of this paper is to give a review of different types of wavelet density estimators proposed in the literature. Properties, comparisons with classic...
