Natural Exponential Families and Generalized Hypergeometric Measures
Let ν be a positive Borel measure on R and pFq(a1, . . . , ap; b1, . . . , bq; s) be a generalized hypergeometric series. We define a generalized hypergeometric measure, μp,q := pFq(a1, . . . , ap; b1, . . . , bq; ν), as a series of convolution powers of the measure ν, and we investigate classes of probability distributions which are expressible as such a measure. We show that the Kemp family o...
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...
متن کاملBayesian approach to cubic natural exponential families
For a natural exponential family (NEF), one can associate in a natural way two standard families of conjugate priors, one on the natural parameter and the other on the mean parameter. These families of conjugate priors have been used to establish some remarkable properties and characterization results of the quadratic NEF’s. In the present paper, we show that for a NEF, we can associate a class...
متن کاملInvariant conjugate analysis for exponential families
There are several ways to parameterize a distribution belonging to an exponential family, each one leading to a different Bayesian analysis of the data under standard conjugate priors. To overcome this problem, we propose a new class of conjugate priors which is invariant with respect to smooth reparameterization. This class of priors contains the Jeffreys prior as a special case, according to ...
متن کاملJeffreys versus Shtarkov distributions associated with some natural exponential families
Jeffreys and Shtarkov distributions play an important role in universal coding andminimumdescription length (MDL) inference, two central areas within the field of information theory. It was recently discovered that in some situations Shtarkov distributions exist while Jeffreys distributions do not. To demonstrate some of these situations we consider in this note the class of natural exponential...
