Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bayesian nonparametric methods have become increasingly popular in machine learning for their ability to allow the data to determine model complexity. In particular, Bayesian nonparametric versions of common latent variable models can learn as effective dimension of the latent space. Examples include mixture models, latent feature models and topic models, where the number of components, features, or topics need not be specified a priori. A drawback of many of these models is that they assume the observations are exchangeable, that is, any dependencies between observations are ignored. This thesis contributes general methods to incorporate covariates into Bayesian nonparametric models and inference algorithms to learn with these models. First, we will present a flexible class of dependent Bayesian nonparametric priors to induce covariate-dependence into a variety of latent variable models used in machine learning. The proposed framework has nice analytic properites and admits a simple inference algorithm. We show how the framework can be used to construct a covariate-dependent latent feature model and a time-varying topic model. Second, we describe the first general purpose inference algorithm for a large family of dependent mixture models. Using the idea of slice-sampling, the algorithm is truncation-free and fast, showing that inference can de done efficiently despite the added complexity that covariate-dependence entails. Last, we construct a Bayesian nonparametric framework to couple multiple latent variable models and apply the framework to learning from multiple views of data.

Download or read book Bayesian Nonparametric Data Analysis written by Peter Müller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews nonparametric Bayesian methods and models that have proven useful in the context of data analysis. Rather than providing an encyclopedic review of probability models, the book’s structure follows a data analysis perspective. As such, the chapters are organized by traditional data analysis problems. In selecting specific nonparametric models, simpler and more traditional models are favored over specialized ones. The discussed methods are illustrated with a wealth of examples, including applications ranging from stylized examples to case studies from recent literature. The book also includes an extensive discussion of computational methods and details on their implementation. R code for many examples is included in online software pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bayesian nonparametrics works - theoretically, computationally. The theory provides highly flexible models whose complexity grows appropriately with the amount of data. Computational issues, though challenging, are no longer intractable. All that is needed is an entry point: this intelligent book is the perfect guide to what can seem a forbidding landscape. Tutorial chapters by Ghosal, Lijoi and Prünster, Teh and Jordan, and Dunson advance from theory, to basic models and hierarchical modeling, to applications and implementation, particularly in computer science and biostatistics. These are complemented by companion chapters by the editors and Griffin and Quintana, providing additional models, examining computational issues, identifying future growth areas, and giving links to related topics. This coherent text gives ready access both to underlying principles and to state-of-the-art practice. Specific examples are drawn from information retrieval, NLP, machine vision, computational biology, biostatistics, and bioinformatics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent progress in Bayesian methods largely focus on non-conjugate models featured with extensive use of black-box functions: continuous functions implemented with neural networks. Using deep neural networks, Bayesian models can reasonably fit big data while at the same time capturing model uncertainty. This thesis targets at a more challenging problem: how do we model general random objects, including discrete ones, using random functions? Our conclusion is: many (discrete) random objects are in nature a composition of Poisson processes and random functions}. Thus, all discreteness is handled through the Poisson process while random functions captures the rest complexities of the object. Thus the title: composing deep learning and Bayesian nonparametric methods. This conclusion is not a conjecture. In spacial cases such as latent feature models , we can prove this claim by working on infinite dimensional spaces, and that is how Bayesian nonparametric kicks in. Moreover, we will assume some regularity assumptions on random objects such as exchangeability.

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.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonparametric methods provide flexible accommodation to the different structures in the data without imposing strong assumptions. Bayesian consideration of nonparametric models, such as Gaussian process, Dirichlet process and decision tree enables straightforward computation and automatic regularization. In this dissertation, we developed three novel nonparametric methods for handling different types of data. For the longitudinal and time-to-event data, we utilized the multiple subject composition and repeated measurement, and designed a hierarchical Gaussian process that enables extrapolation for personalized forecast. For the regression of heterogeneous data, we combined the clustering properties of the Dirichlet process and the nonlinear incorporation of predictors in decision tree, and developed an efficient method for handling heterogeneity and ensemble estimation. For the spatiotemporal data, we first designed a performant algorithm for stationary Gaussian process, and then extended it to allow non-stationarity and non-Gaussianness of the complex data. We demonstrate the advantages of the Bayesian modeling in latent variable sampling, missing data handling, algorithm acceleration, accurate prediction and probabilistic interpretation.

Download or read book Bayesian Nonparametrics for Causal Inference and Missing Data written by Michael Joseph Daniels and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bayesian Nonparametrics for Causal Inference and Missing Data provides an overview of flexible Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) methods for modeling joint or conditional distributions and functional relationships, and their interplay with causal inference and missing data. This book emphasizes the importance of making untestable assumptions to identify estimands of interest, such as missing at random assumption for missing data and unconfoundedness for causal inference in observational studies. Unlike parametric methods, the BNP approach can account for possible violations of assumptions and minimize concerns about model misspecification. The overall strategy is to first specify BNP models for observed data and then to specify additional uncheckable assumptions to identify estimands of interest. The book is divided into three parts. Part I develops the key concepts in causal inference and missing data and reviews relevant concepts in Bayesian inference. Part II introduces the fundamental BNP tools required to address causal inference and missing data problems. Part III shows how the BNP approach can be applied in a variety of case studies. The datasets in the case studies come from electronic health records data, survey data, cohort studies, and randomized clinical trials. Features Thorough discussion of both BNP and its interplay with causal inference and missing data How to use BNP and g-computation for causal inference and non-ignorable missingness How to derive and calibrate sensitivity parameters to assess sensitivity to deviations from uncheckable causal and/or missingness assumptions Detailed case studies illustrating the application of BNP methods to causal inference and missing data R code and/or packages to implement BNP in causal inference and missing data problems The book is primarily aimed at researchers and graduate students from statistics and biostatistics. It will also serve as a useful practical reference for mathematically sophisticated epidemiologists and medical researchers.

Download or read book Nonlinear Mixture Models: A Bayesian Approach written by Tatiana V Tatarinova and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, written by two mathematicians from the University of Southern California, provides a broad introduction to the important subject of nonlinear mixture models from a Bayesian perspective. It contains background material, a brief description of Markov chain theory, as well as novel algorithms and their applications. It is self-contained and unified in presentation, which makes it ideal for use as an advanced textbook by graduate students and as a reference for independent researchers. The explanations in the book are detailed enough to capture the interest of the curious reader, and complete enough to provide the necessary background material needed to go further into the subject and explore the research literature.In this book the authors present Bayesian methods of analysis for nonlinear, hierarchical mixture models, with a finite, but possibly unknown, number of components. These methods are then applied to various problems including population pharmacokinetics and gene expression analysis. In population pharmacokinetics, the nonlinear mixture model, based on previous clinical data, becomes the prior distribution for individual therapy. For gene expression data, one application included in the book is to determine which genes should be associated with the same component of the mixture (also known as a clustering problem). The book also contains examples of computer programs written in BUGS. This is the first book of its kind to cover many of the topics in this field.

Download or read book Probabilistic Symmetries and Invariance Principles written by Olav Kallenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-07-27 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive treatment of the three basic symmetries of probability theory—contractability, exchangeability, and rotatability—defined as invariance in distribution under contractions, permutations, and rotations. Originating with the pioneering work of de Finetti from the 1930's, the theory has evolved into a unique body of deep, beautiful, and often surprising results, comprising the basic representations and invariance properties in one and several dimensions, and exhibiting some unexpected links between the various symmetries as well as to many other areas of modern probability. Most chapters require only some basic, graduate level probability theory, and should be accessible to any serious researchers and graduate students in probability and statistics. Parts of the book may also be of interest to pure and applied mathematicians in other areas. The exposition is formally self-contained, with detailed references provided for any deeper facts from real analysis or probability used in the book. Olav Kallenberg received his Ph.D. in 1972 from Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden. After teaching for many years at Swedish universities, he moved in 1985 to the US, where he is currently Professor of Mathematics at Auburn University. He is well known for his previous books Random Measures (4th edition, 1986) and Foundations of Modern Probability (2nd edition, 2002) and for numerous research papers in all areas of probability. In 1977, he was the second recipient ever of the prestigious Rollo Davidson Prize from Cambridge University. In 1991–94, he served as the Editor in Chief of Probability Theory and Related Fields. Professor Kallenberg is an elected fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.
