Empirical Bayes Estimators for High-Dimensional Sparse Vectors
The problem of estimating a high-dimensional sparse vector θ ∈ R from an observation in i.i.d. Gaussian noise is considered. The performance is measured using squared-error loss. An empirical Bayes shrinkage estimator, derived using a Bernoulli-Gaussian prior, is analyzed and compared with the well-known soft-thresholding estimator. We obtain concentration inequalities for the Stein’s unbiased ...
متن کاملThe Letac-Massam conjecture and existence of high dimensional Bayes estimators for Graphical Models
The Wishart distribution, defined on the open convex positive definite cone, plays a central role in multivariate analysis and multivariate distribution theory. Its domain of integrability is often referred to as the Gindikin set. In recent years, a variety of useful extensions of the Wishart have been proposed in the literature for the purposes of studying Markov random fields / graphical mode...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...
متن کاملUnbiasedness and Bayes Estimators
A simple geometric representation of Bayes and unbiased rules for squared error loss is provided. Some orthogonality relationships between them and the functions they are estimating are proved. Bayes estimators are shown to be behave asymptotically like unbiased estimators.
متن کاملBayes estimators for phylogenetic reconstruction
Tree reconstruction methods are often judged by their accuracy, measured by how close they get to the true tree. Yet, most reconstruction methods like maximum likelihood (ML) do not explicitly maximize this accuracy. To address this problem, we propose a Bayesian solution. Given tree samples, we propose finding the tree estimate that is closest on average to the samples. This "median" tree is k...
