Slice sampling mixture models
We propose a more efficient version of the slice sampler for Dirichlet process mixture models described by Walker (Commun. Stat., Simul. Comput. 36:45–54, 2007). This new sampler allows for the fitting of infinite mixture models with a wide-range of prior specifications. To illustrate this flexibility we consider priors defined through infinite sequences of independent positive random variables...
متن کاملSlice sampling normalized kernel-weighted completely random measure mixture models
A number of dependent nonparametric processes have been proposed to model non-stationary data with unknown latent dimensionality. However, the inference algorithms are often slow and unwieldy, and are in general highly specific to a given model formulation. In this paper, we describe a large class of dependent nonparametric processes, including several existing models, and present a slice sampl...
متن کاملSlice Sampling σ -Stable Poisson-Kingman Mixture Models
The article is concerned with the use of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for posterior sampling in Bayesian nonparametric mixture models. In particular, we consider the problem of slice sampling mixture models for a large class of mixing measures generalizing the celebrated Dirichlet process. Such a class of measures, known in the literature as σ -stable Poisson-Kingman models, includes as spe...
متن کاملSlice Sampling
Markov chain sampling methods that automatically adapt to characteristics of the distribution being sampled can be constructed by exploiting the principle that one can sample from a distribution by sampling uniformly from the region under the plot of its density function. A Markov chain that converges to this uniform distribution can be constructed by alternating uniform sampling in the vertica...
متن کاملMixture Models for Distance Sampling Detection Functions
We present a new class of models for the detection function in distance sampling surveys of wildlife populations, based on finite mixtures of simple parametric key functions such as the half-normal. The models share many of the features of the widely-used "key function plus series adjustment" (K+A) formulation: they are flexible, produce plausible shapes with a small number of parameters, allow...
