Bayesian Wavelet Shrinkage for Nonparametric Mixed-effects Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main purpose of this article is to study the wavelet shrinkage method from a Bayesian viewpoint. Nonparametric mixed-effects models are proposed and used for interpretation of the Bayesian structure. Bayes and empirical Bayes estimation are discussed. The latter is shown to have the Gauss-Markov type optimality (i.e., BLUP), to be equivalent to a method of regularization estimator (MORE), and to be minimax in a certain class. Characterization of prior and posterior regularity is discussed. The smoothness of posterior estimators is controlled via prior parameters. Computational issues including the use of generalized cross validation are discussed, and examples are presented.

Generalized Cross-Validation for Wavelet Shrinkage in Nonparametric Mixed-Effects Models
A nonlinear wavelet shrinkage estimator was proposed in Huang and Lu (2000). Such an estimator combined the asymptotic equivalence to the best linear unbiased prediction and the Bayesian estimation in nonparametric mixed-effects models. In this article a data-driven GCV method is proposed to select hyperparameters. The proposed GCV method has low computational cost and can be applied to one or ...
متن کاملFrequentist Optimality of Bayesian Wavelet Shrinkage Rules for Gaussian and Non-gaussian Noise1 by Marianna Pensky
The present paper investigates theoretical performance of various Bayesian wavelet shrinkage rules in a nonparametric regression model with i.i.d. errors which are not necessarily normally distributed. The main purpose is comparison of various Bayesian models in terms of their frequentist asymptotic optimality in Sobolev and Besov spaces. We establish a relationship between hyperparameters, ver...
متن کاملWavelet-based functional mixed models.
Increasingly, scientific studies yield functional data, in which the ideal units of observation are curves and the observed data consist of sets of curves that are sampled on a fine grid. We present new methodology that generalizes the linear mixed model to the functional mixed model framework, with model fitting done by using a Bayesian wavelet-based approach. This method is flexible, allowing...
متن کاملBayesian Analysis of Mass Spectrometry Proteomics Data using Wavelet Based Functional Mixed Models
In this paper, we analyze MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry proteomics data using Bayesian wavelet-based functional mixed models. By modeling mass spectra as functions, this approach avoids reliance on peak detection methods. The flexibility of this framework in modeling nonparametric fixed and random effect functions enables it to simultaneously model the effects of multiple factors, allowing one to...
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...
