Channelling Multimodality Through a Unimodalizing Transport: Warp-U Sampler and Stochastic Bridge Sampling Estimator
Fei Ding, Shiyuan He, David E. Jones +1
Monte Carlo integration is a powerful tool for scientific and statistical computation, but faces significant challenges when the integrand is a multi-modal distribution, even when…
Quantifying Observed Prior Impact
David E Jones, Robert N Trangucci, Yang Chen
We distinguish two questions (i) how much information does the prior contain? and (ii) what is the effect of the prior? Several measures have been proposed for quantifying effectiv…
Functional PCA with Covariate Dependent Mean and Covariance Structure
Fei Ding, Shiyuan He, David E. Jones +1
Incorporating covariates into functional principal component analysis (PCA) can substantially improve the representation efficiency of the principal components and predictive perfo…
Warp Bridge Sampling: The Next Generation
Lazhi Wang, David E. Jones, Xiao-Li Meng
Bridge sampling is an effective Monte Carlo method for estimating the ratio of normalizing constants of two probability densities, a routine computational problem in statistics, ph…
