摘要:Let (P-1, ..., P-J) denote J populations of animals from distinct regions. A priori, it is unknown which species are present in each region and what are their corresponding frequencies. Species are shared among populations and each species can be present in more than one region with its frequency varying across populations. In this article, we consider the problem of sequentially sampling these populations to observe the greatest number of different species. We adopt a Bayesian nonparametric a...

摘要:We consider the problem of multivariate density deconvolution when interest lies in estimating the distribution of a vector valued random variable X but precise measurements on X are not available, observations being contaminated by measurement errors U. The existing sparse literature on the problem assumes the density of the measurement errors to be completely known. We propose robust Bayesian semiparametric multivariate deconvolution approaches when the measurement error density of U is not ...

摘要:Factor modeling is an essential tool for exploring intrinsic dependence structures among high-dimensional random variables. Much progress has been made for estimating the covariance matrix from a high-dimensional factor model. However, the blessing of dimensionality has not yet been fully embraced in the literature: much of the available data are often ignored in constructing covariance matrix estimates. If our goal is to accurately estimate a covariance matrix of a set of targeted variables, ...

摘要:In sleep research, applying finite mixture models to sleep characteristics captured through multiple data types, including self-reported sleep diary, a wrist monitor capturing movement (actigraphy), and brain waves (polysomnography), may suggest new phenotypes that reflect underlying disease mechanisms. However, a direct mixture model application is challenging because there are many sleep variables from which to choose, and sleep variables are often highly skewed even in homogenous samples. M...
