On the Bernstein - von Mises Theorem with Infinite Dimensional Parameters
نویسنده
چکیده
If there are many independent, identically distributed observations governed by a smooth, finite-dimensional statistical model, the Bayes estimate and the maximum likelihood estimate will be close. Furthermore, the posterior distribution of the parameter vector around the posterior mean will be close to the distribution of the maximum likelihood estimate around truth. Thus, Bayesian confidence sets have good frequentist coverage properties, and conversely. However, even for the simplest infinite-dimensional models, such results do not hold. The object here is to give some examples.

Parameter Estimation of Some Archimedean Copulas Based on Minimum Cramér-von-Mises Distance
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new estimation method for estimating the Archimedean copula dependence parameter in the non-parametric setting. The estimation of the dependence parameter has been selected as the value that minimizes the Cramér-von-Mises distance which measures the distance between Empirical Bernstein Kendall distribution function and true Kendall distribution functi...
متن کاملA semiparametric Bernstein - von Mises theorem for Gaussian process priors
This paper is a contribution to the Bayesian theory of semiparametric estimation. We are interested in the so-called Bernstein-von Mises theorem, in a semiparametric framework where the unknown quantity is (θ , f ), with θ the parameter of interest and f an infinite-dimensional nuisance parameter. Two theorems are established, one in the case with no loss of information and one in the informati...
متن کاملThe Bernstein-von Mises Theorem for Stationary Processes
In the literature of time series analysis since Whittle (1953), many authors (for example, Dunsmuir and Hannan (1976), Dunsmuir (1979), and Hosoya and Taniguchi (1982)) have considered an approach using Whittle’s log-likelihood, which is an approximation of Gaussian log-likelihood of the data, and have developed the asymptotic properties of an estimator that maximizes Whittle’s loglikelihood. T...
متن کاملBootstrap for dependent Hilbert space-valued random variables with application to von Mises statistics
Statistical methods for functional data are of interest for many applications. In this paper, we prove a central limit theorem for random variables taking their values in a Hilbert space. The random variables are assumed to be weakly dependent in the sense of near epoch dependence, where the underlying process fulfills some mixing conditions. As parametric inference in an infinite dimensional s...
متن کاملTesting Independence Based on Bernstein Empirical Copula and Copula Density
In this paper we provide three nonparametric tests of independence between continuous random variables based on Bernstein copula and copula density. The first test is constructed based on functional of Cramér-von Mises of the Bernstein empirical copula. The two other tests are based on Bernstein density copula and use Cramér-von Mises and Kullback-Leiber divergencetype respectively. Furthermore...
