Perfect posterior simulation for mixture and hidden Markov models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an application of the read-once coupling from the past algorithm to problems in Bayesian inference for latent statistical models. We describe a method for perfect simulation from the posterior distribution of the unknown mixture weights in a mixture model. Our method is extended to a more general mixture problem, where unknown parameters exist for the mixture components, and to a hidden Markov model.

Image Segmentation using Gaussian Mixture Model
Abstract: Stochastic models such as mixture models, graphical models, Markov random fields and hidden Markov models have key role in probabilistic data analysis. In this paper, we used Gaussian mixture model to the pixels of an image. The parameters of the model were estimated by EM-algorithm. In addition pixel labeling corresponded to each pixel of true image was made by Bayes rule. In fact,...

متن کاملBayesian Hidden Markov Models for Financial Data
Hidden Markov Models, also known as Markov Switching Models, can be considered an extension of mixture models, allowing for dependent observations. The main problem associated with Hidden Markov Models is represented by the choice of the number of regimes, i.e. the number of the generating data processes, which differ one from another just for the value of the parameters. Applying a hierarchica...
متن کاملPosterior Simulation in Countable Mixture Models for Large Datasets
Mixture models, or convex combinations of a countable number of probability distributions, offer an elegant framework for inference when the population of interest can be subdivided into latent clusters having random characteristics that are heterogeneous between, but homogeneous within, the clusters. Traditionally, the different kinds of mixture models have been motivated and analyzed from ver...

Multi site modeling of rainfall is one of the most important issues in environmental sciences especially in watershed management. For this purpose, different statistical models have been developed which involve spatial approaches in simulation and modeling of daily rainfall values. The hidden Markov is one of the multi-site daily rainfall models which in addition to simulation of daily rainfall...
