A hybrid sampler for Poisson-Kingman mixture models

چکیده
This paper concerns the introduction of a new Markov Chain Monte Carlo scheme for posterior sampling in Bayesian nonparametric mixture models with priors that belong to the general Poisson-Kingman class. We present a novel compact way of representing the infinite dimensional component of the model such that while explicitly representing this infinite component it has less memory and storage requirements than previous MCMC schemes. We describe comparative simulation results demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed MCMC algorithm against existing marginal and conditional MCMC samplers.

A Tractable Class of σ-stable Poisson-Kingman Processes and an Effective Marginalized Sampler
We explore the use of a class of random probability measures, which we refer to as the Q class, for Bayesian nonparametric mixture modeling. This class of processes encompasses both the normalised generalised gamma and the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet processes allowing us to comparatively study the inferential advantages of these two processes. We propose novel marginal and conditional char...
متن کاملSlice Sampling σ -Stable Poisson-Kingman Mixture Models
The article is concerned with the use of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for posterior sampling in Bayesian nonparametric mixture models. In particular, we consider the problem of slice sampling mixture models for a large class of mixing measures generalizing the celebrated Dirichlet process. Such a class of measures, known in the literature as σ -stable Poisson-Kingman models, includes as spe...
متن کاملThe Negative Binomial Distribution Efficiency in Finite Mixture of Semi-parametric Generalized Linear Models
Introduction Selection the appropriate statistical model for the response variable is one of the most important problem in the finite mixture of generalized linear models. One of the distributions which it has a problem in a finite mixture of semi-parametric generalized statistical models, is the Poisson distribution. In this paper, to overcome over dispersion and computational burden, finite ...
متن کاملEfficient MCMC Estimation for Binomial Binned Logit Models
This talk considers the special case of binomial data where repeated measurements are available for identical covariate patterns. Our method is based on various Bayesian approaches for estimating binary logit models. To carry out MCMC sampling with data augmentation, logit models are rewritten as random utility models (RUM) or difference RUM (dRUM). Following earlier papers (Frühwirth-Schnatter...
متن کاملUsing Regression based Control Limits and Probability Mixture Models for Monitoring Customer Behavior
In order to achieve the maximum flexibility in adaptation to ever changing customer’s expectations in customer relationship management, appropriate measures of customer behavior should be continually monitored. To this end, control charts adjusted for buyer’s/visitor’s prior intention to repurchase or visit again are suitable means taking into account the heterogeneity across customers. In the ...
