چکیده
SUMMARY Posterior consistency and the parallel behaviour of consistency of maximum likelihood estimators is analyzed in nonparametric statistical problems. The framework is the hypo-Strong Law of Large Numbers, a form of " one-sided " Uniform Law of Large Numbers.

A Fleming–viot Process and Bayesian Nonparametrics
This paper provides a construction of a Fleming–Viot measure valued diffusion process, for which the transition function is known, by extending recent ideas of the Gibbs sampler based Markov processes. In particular, we concentrate on the Chapman–Kolmogorov consistency conditions which allows a simple derivation of such a Fleming–Viot process, once a key and apparently new combinatorial result ...
متن کاملNonparametrics: Perspectives and Prospectives
Steming from distribution-free statistics and ’quick and dirty methods’, Nonparametrics has been going through an evolution which is far from being over at this juncture of time. The perspectives over the past 70 years provide good incentives to gauge the nature of changes in prospectives, and our task ahead to cope with some of these challenging statistical issues. Interdisciplinary research, ...
متن کاملMoment conditions and Bayesian nonparametrics∗
Models phrased though moment conditions are central to much of modern inference. Here these moment conditions are embedded within a nonparametric Bayesian setup. Handling such a model is not probabilistically straightforward as the posterior has support on a manifold. We solve the relevant issues, building new probability and computational tools using Hausdorff measures to analyze them on real ...
متن کاملMultiagent Planning with Bayesian Nonparametric Asymptotics
Autonomous multiagent systems are beginning to see use in complex, changing environments that cannot be completely specified a priori. In order to be adaptive to these environments and avoid the fragility associated with making too many a priori assumptions, autonomous systems must incorporate some form of learning. However, learning techniques themselves often require structural assumptions to...
