Nonparametric Bayesian inference on multivariate exponential families

2014-12-01 · NeurIPS 2014 12 · William R. Vega-Brown, Marek Doniec, Nicholas G. Roy

We develop a model by choosing the maximum entropy distribution from the set of models satisfying certain smoothness and independence criteria; we show that inference on this model generalizes local kernel estimation to the context of Bayesian inference on stochastic processes. Our model enables Bayesian inference in contexts when standard techniques like Gaussian process inference are too expensive to apply. Exact inference on our model is possible for any likelihood function from the exponential family. Inference is then highly efficient, requiring only O(log N) time and O(N) space at run time. We demonstrate our algorithm on several problems and show quantifiable improvement in both speed and performance relative to models based on the Gaussian process.

Differentially Private Bayesian Inference for Exponential Families

2018-09-06 · NeurIPS 2018 12 · Garrett Bernstein, Daniel Sheldon

The study of private inference has been sparked by growing concern regarding the analysis of data when it stems from sensitive sources. We present the first method for private Bayesian inference in exponential families t…

Deriving Lehmer and Hölder means as maximum weighted likelihood estimates for the multivariate exponential family

2024-05-02 · Djemel Ziou, Issam Fakir

The links between the mean families of Lehmer and H\"older and the weighted maximum likelihood estimator have recently been established in the case of a regular univariate exponential family. In this article, we will ext…
