Nonasymptotic bounds on the estimation error for regenerative MCMC algorithms∗
MCMC methods are used in Bayesian statistics not only to sample from posterior distributions but also to estimate expectations. Underlying functions are most often defined on a continuous state space and can be unbounded. We consider a regenerative setting and Monte Carlo estimators based on i.i.d. blocks of a Markov chain trajectory. The main result is an inequality for the mean square error. ...
متن کاملNonasymptotic bounds on the estimation error of MCMC algorithms
We address the problem of upper bounding the mean square error of MCMC estimators. Our analysis is non-asymptotic. We first establish a general result valid for essentially all ergodic Markov chains encountered in Bayesian computation and a possibly unbounded target function f. The bound is sharp in the sense that the leading term is exactly σ as(P, f)/n, where σ 2 as(P, f) is the CLT asymptoti...
متن کاملNonnegative bias reduction methods for density estimation using asymmetric kernels
Two classes of multiplicative bias correction (‘‘MBC’’) methods are applied to density estimation with support on [0, ∞). It is demonstrated that under sufficient smoothness of the true density, each MBC technique reduces the order of magnitude in bias, whereas the order of magnitude in variance remains unchanged. Accordingly, the mean integrated squared error of each MBC estimator achieves a f...
متن کاملRisk Bounds for Density Estimation
Motivation: Li and Barron [6, 7] give a greedy method for estimating densities by a finite mixture. The trade-off between approximation and estimation error is present in their risk bound in terms of the optimal number of components used for density estimation. Using techniques from Empirical Process theory [11] and results from geometry in Banach Spaces [5], we improve the bounds and show that...
متن کاملNonasymptotic Bounds for Autoregressive Time Series Modeling
The subject of this paper is autoregressive (AR) modeling of a stationary, Gaussian discrete time process, based on a finite sequence of observations. The process is assumed to admit an AR(∞) representation with exponentially decaying coefficients. We adopt the nonparametric minimax framework and study how well the process can be approximated by a finiteorder AR model. A lower bound on the accu...
