15 صفحه اولEmpirical Bayes Inference for Means Using Student t Prior Distributions
Hierarchical models for L studies, domains or experiments often assume that the study means have a common normal population distribution. However, modeling normal sampling distributions with a normal population distribution may overstate the level of exchangeability of the studies. Using heavy tailed population distributions, in particular t distributions, provide some protection from combining...
متن کاملA computational framework for empirical Bayes inference
In empirical Bayes inference one is typically interested in sampling from the posterior distribution of a parameter with a hyper-parameter set to its maximum likelihood estimate. This is often problematic particularly when the likelihood function of the hyper-parameter is not available in closed form and the posterior distribution is intractable. Previous works have dealt with this problem usin...
متن کاملAnalysis of Empirical MAP and Empirical Partially Bayes: Can They be Alternatives to Variational Bayes?
Variational Bayesian (VB) learning is known to be a promising approximation to Bayesian learning with computational efficiency. However, in some applications, e.g., large-scale collaborative filtering and tensor factorization, VB is still computationally too costly. In such cases, looser approximations such as MAP estimation and partially Bayesian (PB) learning, where a part of the parameters a...
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...
