The imprecise Dirichlet model

چکیده
INTRODUCTION 2 The " Bag of marbles " example " Bag of marbles " problems (Walley, 1996) • " I have. .. a closed bag of coloured marbles. I intend to shake the bag, to reach into it and to draw out one marble. What is the probability that I will draw a red marble? " • " Suppose that we draw a sequence of marbles whose colours are (in order): blue, green, blue, blue, green, red.

Gero Walter A Technical Note on the Dirichlet - Multinomial Model
This short note contains an explicit proof of the Dirichlet distribution being the conjugate prior to the Multinomial sample distribution as resulting from the general construction method described, e.g., in Bernardo and Smith (2000). The well-known Dirichlet-Multinomial model is thus shown to fit into the framework of canonical conjugate analysis (Bernardo and Smith 2000, Prop. 5.6, p. 273), w...
متن کاملAnalysis of Local or Asymmetric Dependencies in Contingency Tables using the Imprecise Dirichlet Model
We consider the statistical problem of analyzing the association between two categorical variables from cross-classified data. The focus is put on measures which enable one to study the dependencies at a local level and to assess whether the data support some more or less strong association model. Statistical inference is envisaged using an imprecise Dirichlet model.
متن کاملSecond-order uncertainty calculations by using the imprecise Dirichlet model
Natural extension is a powerful tool for combining the expert judgments in the framework of imprecise probability theory. However, it assumes that every judgment is “true” and this fact leads to some difficulties in many applications. Therefore, a second-order uncertainty model is considered in the paper where probabilities on the second-order level are taken by using the imprecise Dirichlet mo...
متن کاملThe imprecise Dirichlet model as a basis for a new boosting classification algorithm
A new algorithm for ensemble construction based on adapted restricting a set of weights of examples in training data to avoid overfitting and to reduce a number of iterations is proposed in the paper. The algorithm called IDMBoost (Imprecise Dirichlet Model Boost) applies Walley’s imprecise Dirichlet model for modifying the restricted sets of weights depending on the number and location of clas...
متن کاملPractical Robust Estimators for the Imprecise Dirichlet Model
Walley’s Imprecise Dirichlet Model (IDM) for categorical i.i.d. data extends the classical Dirichlet model to a set of priors. It overcomes several fundamental problems which other approaches to uncertainty suffer from. Yet, to be useful in practice, one needs efficient ways for computing the imprecise=robust sets or intervals. The main objective of this work is to derive exact, conservative, a...
