Reversible jump MCMC for two-state multivariate Poisson mixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of identifying the source from observations from a Poisson process can be encountered in fault diagnostics systems based on event counters. The identification of the inner state of the system must be made based on observations of counters which entail only information on the total sum of some events from a dual process which has made a transition from an intact to a broken state at some unknown time. Here we demonstrate the general identifiability of this problem in presence of multiple counters.

Bayesian Analysis of Finite Poisson Mixtures
Finite Poisson mixtures are widely used to model overdispersed data sets for which the simple Poisson distribution is inadequate. Such data sets are very common in real applications. In this paper we investigate Bayesian estimation via MCMC for finite Poisson mixtures and we discuss some computational issues. The related problem of determining the number of components in a mixture is also treat...
متن کاملLearning Multivariate Gaussian Mixtures with the Re- versible Jump MCMC Algorithm
This paper is a contribution to the methodology of fully Bayesian inference in multivariate Gaussian mixtures using the reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. To make use of the spectral representation of symmetric positive definite matrix, we decompose covariance matrix into two parts: an eigenvector matrix and an eigenvalue matrix. We focus our attention on a family of multivaria...
متن کاملAn Application of Reversible-Jump MCMC to Multivariate Spherical Gaussian Mixtures
Applications of Gaussian mixture models occur frequently in the fields of statistics and artificial neural networks. One of the key issues arising from any mixture model application is how to estimate the optimum number of mixture components. This paper extends the Reversible-Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to the case of multivariate spherical Gaussian mixtures using a hierarchi...
متن کاملA new R package for Bayesian estimation of multivariate normal mixtures allowing for selection of the number of components and interval-censored data
An R package mixAK is introduced which implements routines for a semiparametric density estimation through normal mixtures using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methodology. Besides producing the MCMC output, the package computes posterior summary statistics for important characteristics of the fitted distribution or computes and visualizes the posterior predictive density. For the estimate...
متن کاملMCMC for hidden continuous - time
Hidden Markov models have proved to be a very exible class of models, with many and diverse applications. Recently Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques have provided powerful computational tools to make inferences about the parameters of hidden Markov models, and about the unobserved Markov chain, when the chain is deened in discrete time. We present a general algorithm, based on reversib...
