Bayesian nonparametric inference for discovery probabilities: credible intervals and large sample asymptotics
Given a sample of size n from a population of individual belonging to different species with unknown proportions, a popular problem of practical interest consists in making inference on the probability Dn(l) that the (n + 1)-th draw coincides with a species with frequency l in the sample, for any l = 0, 1, . . . , n. This paper contributes to the methodology of Bayesian nonparametric inference ...
متن کاملOn posterior distribution of Bayesian wavelet thresholding
We investigate the posterior rate of convergence for wavelet shrinkage using a Bayesian approach in general Besov spaces. Instead of studying the Bayesian estimator related to a particular loss function, we focus on the posterior distribution itself from a nonparametric Bayesian asymptotics point of view and study its rate of convergence. We obtain the same rate as in Abramovich et al. (2004) w...
متن کاملA nonparametric estimator of species overlap.
For two communities, species overlap has been defined by Smith, Solow, and Preston (1996, Biometrics 52, 1472-1477) as the probability that a randomly selected species is present in both communities given that it is present in at least one community. Species overlap can thus be used to describe the similarity of two communities. In contrast with the parametric estimator of Smith et al., we prop...
متن کاملWavelets for Nonparametric Stochastic Regression with Pairwise Negative Quadrant Dependent Random Variables
We propose a wavelet based stochastic regression function estimator for the estimation of the regression function for a sequence of pairwise negative quadrant dependent random variables with a common one-dimensional probability density function. Some asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator are investigated. It is found that the estimators have similar properties to their counterparts st...

In robust nonparametric kernel regression context,weprescribemethod to select trimming parameter and bandwidth. Through solving estimating equations, we control outlier effect through combining weighting and trimming. We show asymptotic consistency, establish bias, variance properties and derive asymptotics. © 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
