Haar Measure for Compact Right Topological Groups
Compact right topological groups arise in topological dynamics and in other settings. Following H. Furstenberg's seminal work on distal flows, R. Ellis and I. Namioka have shown that the compact right topological groups of dynamical type always admit a probability measure invariant under the continuous left translations; however, this invariance property is insufficient to identify a unique pro...
متن کاملConvergence Rates of Posterior Distributions
If the distribution P is considered random and distributed according to , as it is in Bayesian inference, then the posterior distribution is the conditional distribution of P given the observations. The prior is, of course, a measure on some σ-field on and we must assume that the expressions in the display are well defined. In particular, we assume that the map x p → p x is measurable for the p...
متن کاملConvergence Rates of Nonparametric Posterior Distributions
We study the asymptotic behavior of posterior distributions. We present general posterior convergence rate theorems, which extend several results on posterior convergence rates provided by Ghosal and Van der Vaart (2000), Shen and Wasserman (2001) and Walker, Lijor and Prunster (2007). Our main tools are the Hausdorff α-entropy introduced by Xing and Ranneby (2008) and a new notion of prior con...
متن کاملOn rates of convergence for posterior distributions under misspecification
We extend the approach of Walker (2003, 2004) to the case of misspecified models. A sufficient condition for establishing rates of convergence is given based on a key identity involving martingales, which does not require construction of tests. We also show roughly that the result obtained by using tests can also be obtained by our approach, which demonstrates the potential wider applicability ...
متن کاملConvergence Rates of Posterior Distributions for Noniid Observations
We consider the asymptotic behavior of posterior distributions and Bayes estimators based on observations which are required to be neither independent nor identically distributed. We give general results on the rate of convergence of the posterior measure relative to distances derived from a testing criterion. We then specialize our results to independent, nonidentically distributed observation...
