Nonparametric Bayesian Identification of Jump Systems with Sparse Dependencies ⋆

چکیده
Many nonlinear dynamical phenomena can be effectively modeled by a system that switches among a set of conditionally linear dynamical modes. We consider two such Markov jump linear systems: the switching linear dynamical system (SLDS) and the switching vector autoregressive (S-VAR) process. In this paper, we present a nonparametric Bayesian approach to identifying an unknown number of persistent, smooth dynamical modes by utilizing a hierarchical Dirichlet process prior. We additionally employ automatic relevance determination to infer a sparse set of dynamic dependencies. The utility and flexibility of our models are demonstrated on synthetic data and a set of honey bee dances.

متن کاملA Bayesian – Decision Theoretic Approach to Model Error Modeling
This paper takes a Bayesian-decision theoretic approach to transfer function estimation, nominal model estimation, and quantification of the resulting model error. Consistency of the nonparametric estimate of the transfer function is proved together with a rate of convergence. The required quantities can be computed routinely using reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. The proposed ...
متن کاملInference in Infinite Superpositions of Non-Gaussian Ornstein–Uhlenbeck Processes Using Bayesian Nonparametic Methods
This paper describes a Bayesian nonparametric approach to volatility estimation. Volatility is assumed to follow a superposition of an infinite number of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes driven by a compound Poisson process with a parametric or nonparametric jump size distribution. This model allows a wide range of possible dependencies and marginal distributions for volatility. The properties of t...
متن کاملLearning sparse dynamic linear systems using stable spline kernels and exponential hyperpriors
We introduce a new Bayesian nonparametric approach to identification of sparse dynamic linear systems. The impulse responses are modeled as Gaussian processes whose autocovariances encode the BIBO stability constraint, as defined by the recently introduced “Stable Spline kernel”. Sparse solutions are obtained by placing exponential hyperpriors on the scale factors of such kernels. Numerical exp...
متن کاملA Bayesian Nonparametric Model for Spectral Estimation of Metastable Systems
The identification of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions from simulation or experimental data is a fundamental and important problem for analysis of metastable systems, because the dominant spectral components usually contain a lot of essential information of the metastable dynamics on slow timescales. It has been shown that the dynamics of a strongly metastable system can be equivalently described...
