Testing Significance in Bayesian Classifiers
The Fully Bayesian Significance Test (FBST) is a coherent Bayesian significance test for sharp hypotheses. This paper explores the FBST as a model selection tool for general mixture models, and gives some computational experiments for Multinomial-Dirichlet-Normal-Wishart models.
متن کاملA Dirichlet-Multinomial Bayes Classifier for Disease Diagnosis with Microbial Compositions
Dysbiosis of microbial communities is associated with various human diseases, raising the possibility of using microbial compositions as biomarkers for disease diagnosis. We have developed a Bayes classifier by modeling microbial compositions with Dirichlet-multinomial distributions, which are widely used to model multicategorical count data with extra variation. The parameters of the Dirichlet...
متن کاملVariational Bayesian Dirichlet-Multinomial Allocation for Exponential Family Mixtures
We study a Bayesian framework for density modeling with mixture of exponential family distributions. Our contributions: •A variational Bayesian solution for finite mixture models • Show that finite mixture models (with a Bayesian setting) can determine the mixture number automatically • Justify this result with connections to Dirichlet Process mixture models •A fast variational Bayesian solutio...
متن کاملWeak Convergence of a Dirichlet-multinomial Process
We present a random probability distribution which approximates, in the sense of weak convergence, the Dirichlet process and supports a Bayesian resampling plan called a proper Bayesian bootstrap. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 62G09, 60B10.
متن کاملGero Walter A Technical Note on the Dirichlet - Multinomial Model
This short note contains an explicit proof of the Dirichlet distribution being the conjugate prior to the Multinomial sample distribution as resulting from the general construction method described, e.g., in Bernardo and Smith (2000). The well-known Dirichlet-Multinomial model is thus shown to fit into the framework of canonical conjugate analysis (Bernardo and Smith 2000, Prop. 5.6, p. 273), w...
