Nonparametric Bayesian Data Analysis

چکیده
We review the current state of nonparametric Bayesian inference. The discussion follows a list of important statistical inference problems, including density estimation, regression, survival analysis, hierarchical models and model validation. For each inference problem we review relevant nonparametric Bayesian models and approaches including Dirichlet process (DP) models and variations, Polya trees, wavelet based models, neural network models, spline regression, CART, dependent DP models, and model validation with DP and Polya tree extensions of parametric models.

Introducing of Dirichlet process prior in the Nonparametric Bayesian models frame work
Statistical models are utilized to learn about the mechanism that the data are generating from it. Often it is assumed that the random variables y_i,i=1,…,n ,are samples from the probability distribution F which is belong to a parametric distributions class. However, in practice, a parametric model may be inappropriate to describe the data. In this settings, the parametric assumption could be r...
متن کاملGender-based Differences in Associations between Attitude and Self-esteem with Smoking Behavior among Adolescents: A Secondary Analysis Applying Bayesian Nonparametric Functional Latent Variable Model
Background: Different patterns of gender-based relationships between attitude toward smoking and self-esteem with smoking behavior have reported. However, such associations may be much more complex than a simply supposed linear relationship. We aimed to propose a method of providing hand details on the total and gender-based scenarios of the relationships between attitude toward smoking and sel...

متن کاملParametric and nonparametric Bayesian model specification: A case study involving models for count data
In this paper we present the results of a simulation study to explore the ability of Bayesian parametric and nonparametric models to provide an adequate fit to count data, of the type that would routinely be analyzed parametrically either through fixed-effects or random-effects Poisson models. The context of the study is a randomized controlled trial with two groups (treatment and control). Our...
