Posterior 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 کاملPosterior 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 کاملSmoothing Spline Density Estimation : Conditional Distribution
This article extends recent developments in penalized likelihood probability density estimation to the estimation of conditional densities on generic domains. Positivity and unity constraints for a probability density are enforced through a one-to-one logistic conditional density transform made possible by term trimming in an ANOVA decomposition of multivariate functions. The construction of mo...
متن کاملConditional Universal Consistency
Abstract: Each period, a player must choose an action without knowing the outcome that will be chosen by “Nature,” according to an unknown and possibly history-dependent stochastic rule. We discuss have a class of procedures that assign observations to categories, and prescribe a simple randomized variation of fictitious play within each category. These procedures are “conditionally consistent,...
متن کاملClassifier Conditional Posterior Probabilities
Classifiers based on probability density estimates can be used to find posterior probabilities for the objects to be classified. These probabilities can be used for rejection or for combining classifiers. Posterior probabilities for other classifiers, however, have to be conditional for the classifier., i.e. they yield class probabilities for a given value of the classifier outcome instead for ...
