Posterior Consistency of Dirichlet Mixtures in Density Estimation
A Dirichlet mixture of normal densities is a useful choice for a prior distribution on densities in the problem of Bayesian density estimation. In the recent years, efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo method for the computation of the posterior distribution has been developed. The method has been applied to data arising from different fields of interest. The important issue of consistency was ho...
متن کاملPosterior consistency in conditional distribution estimation
A wide variety of priors have been proposed for nonparametric Bayesian estimation of conditional distributions, and there is a clear need for theorems providing conditions on the prior for large support, as well as posterior consistency. Estimation of an uncountable collection of conditional distributions across different regions of the predictor space is a challenging problem, which differs in...
متن کاملL1-Consistency of Dirichlet Mixtures in Multivariate Bayesian Density Estimation
Density estimation, especially multivariate density estimation, is a fundamental problem in nonparametric inference. Dirichlet mixture priors are often used in practice for such problem. However, asymptotic properties of such priors have only been studied in the univariate case. We extend L1-consistency of Dirichlet mixutures in the multivariate density estimation setting. We obtain such a resu...
متن کاملClass Conditional Density Estimation Using Mixtures with Constrained Component Sharing
We propose a generative mixture model classifier that allows for the class conditional densities to be represented by mixtures having certain subsets of their components shared or common among classes. We argue that, when the total number of mixture components is kept fixed, the most efficient classification model is obtained by appropriately determining the sharing of components among class co...
متن کاملBottleneck Conditional Density Estimation
We propose a neural network framework for high-dimensional conditional density estimation. The Bottleneck Conditional Density Estimator (BCDE) is a variant of the conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) that employs layer(s) of stochastic variables as the bottleneck between the input x and target y, where both are highdimensional. The key to effectively train BCDEs is the hybrid blending of ...
