Book Semiparametric Bayesian Inference for Time Series with Mixed Spectra

Download or read book Semiparametric Bayesian Inference for Time Series with Mixed Spectra written by Christopher K. Carter and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Bayesian analysis is presented of a time series which is the sum of a stationary component with a smooth spectral density and a deterministic component consisting of a linear combination of a trend and periodic terms. The periodic terms may have known or unknown frequencies. The advantage of our approach is that different features of the data such as the regression parameters, the spectral density, unknown frequencies, and missing observations are combined in a hierarchical Bayesian framework and estimated simultaneously. A Bayesian test to detect the presence of deterministic components in the data is also constructed. By using an asymptotic approximation to the likelihood, the computation is carried out efficiently using Markov chain Monte Carlo in O(Mn) operations, where n is the sample size and M and is the number of iterations. We show empirically that our approach works well on real and simulated examples.

Book Fundamentals of Nonparametric Bayesian Inference

Download or read book Fundamentals of Nonparametric Bayesian Inference written by Subhashis Ghosal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explosive growth in computing power has made Bayesian methods for infinite-dimensional models - Bayesian nonparametrics - a nearly universal framework for inference, finding practical use in numerous subject areas. Written by leading researchers, this authoritative text draws on theoretical advances of the past twenty years to synthesize all aspects of Bayesian nonparametrics, from prior construction to computation and large sample behavior of posteriors. Because understanding the behavior of posteriors is critical to selecting priors that work, the large sample theory is developed systematically, illustrated by various examples of model and prior combinations. Precise sufficient conditions are given, with complete proofs, that ensure desirable posterior properties and behavior. Each chapter ends with historical notes and numerous exercises to deepen and consolidate the reader's understanding, making the book valuable for both graduate students and researchers in statistics and machine learning, as well as in application areas such as econometrics and biostatistics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bayesian econometric methods have enjoyed an increase in popularity in recent years. Econometricians, empirical economists, and policymakers are increasingly making use of Bayesian methods. This handbook is a single source for researchers and policymakers wanting to learn about Bayesian methods in specialized fields, and for graduate students seeking to make the final step from textbook learning to the research frontier. It contains contributions by leading Bayesians on the latest developments in their specific fields of expertise. The volume provides broad coverage of the application of Bayesian econometrics in the major fields of economics and related disciplines, including macroeconomics, microeconomics, finance, and marketing. It reviews the state of the art in Bayesian econometric methodology, with chapters on posterior simulation and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, Bayesian nonparametric techniques, and the specialized tools used by Bayesian time series econometricians such as state space models and particle filtering. It also includes chapters on Bayesian principles and methodology.

Book Bayesian Semiparametric Inference of Complex Longitudinal and Multiple Time Series Systems

Download or read book Bayesian Semiparametric Inference of Complex Longitudinal and Multiple Time Series Systems written by Jingjing Fan (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time series inference differs from traditional statistical analysis in that there is inherent dependence between observations in a time series. In the case of multiple time series, multivariate time series, or panel data, performing inference can become even more complex because of possible interactions between different subjects, variables, or both. We develop three new methodologies capable of performing inference on multiple time series, high dimensional multivariate time series, and panel data respectively. For multiple time series, we combine functional analysis with a Hidden Markov model to create a clustering algorithm that allows each time series to change its cluster membership over time. For high dimensional multivariate time series, we develop a tensor decomposition estimation method for the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model which greatly reduces the parameter space without sacrificing accuracy. We extend the tensor decomposed VAR into a random effects model to allow for information sharing between subjects in multi-subject panels. For panels with many subjects, we employ a divide-and-conquer strategy with embarrassingly parallel samplers to lessen the computational burden on a single estimation process
