Bayesian inference with misspecified models

SG Walker - Journal of statistical planning and inference, 2013 - Elsevier
This article reviews Bayesian inference from the perspective that the designated model is
misspecified. This misspecification has implications in interpretation of objects, such as the …

Convergence rates of posterior distributions

S Ghosal, JK Ghosh, AW Van Der Vaart - Annals of Statistics, 2000 - JSTOR
We consider the asymptotic behavior of posterior distributions and Bayes estimators for
infinite-dimensional statistical models. We give general results on the rate of convergence of …

Springer Series in Statistics

P Bickel, P Diggle, S Fienberg, K Krickeberg - 2003 - Springer
This book has grown out of several courses that we have given over the years at Purdue
University, Michigan State University and the Indian Statistical Institute on Bayesian …

Nonparametric Bayesian data analysis

P Müller, FA Quintana - 2004 - projecteuclid.org
We review the current state of nonparametric Bayesian inference. The discussion follows a
list of important statistical inference problems, including density estimation, regression …

Entropies and rates of convergence for maximum likelihood and Bayes estimation for mixtures of normal densities

S Ghosal, AW Van Der Vaart - The Annals of Statistics, 2001 - projecteuclid.org
We study the rates of convergence of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and posterior
distribution in density estimation problems, where the densities are location or location-scale …

Convergence of latent mixing measures in finite and infinite mixture models

XL Nguyen - 2013 - projecteuclid.org
This paper studies convergence behavior of latent mixing measures that arise in finite and
infinite mixture models, using transportation distances (ie, Wasserstein metrics). The …

Rates of convergence of posterior distributions

X Shen, L Wasserman - Annals of Statistics, 2001 - JSTOR
We compute the rate at which the posterior distribution concentrates around the true
parameter value. The spaces we work in are quite general and include infinite dimensional …

Are Gibbs-type priors the most natural generalization of the Dirichlet process?

P De Blasi, S Favaro, A Lijoi, RH Mena… - IEEE transactions on …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Discrete random probability measures and the exchangeable random partitions they induce
are key tools for addressing a variety of estimation and prediction problems in Bayesian …

Conditioning, likelihood, and coherence: A review of some foundational concepts

J Robins, L Wasserman - Journal of the American Statistical …, 2000 - Taylor & Francis
Statistics is intertwined with science and mathematics but is a subset of neither. The
“foundations of statistics” is the set of concepts that makes statistics a distinct field. For …

[PDF][PDF] Dirichlet process mixtures of generalized linear models.

LA Hannah, DM Blei, WB Powell - Journal of Machine Learning Research, 2011 - jmlr.org
Abstract We propose Dirichlet Process mixtures of Generalized Linear Models (DP-GLM), a
new class of methods for nonparametric regression. Given a data set of input-response …
