MCMC-Interactive Variational Inference
Quan Zhang, Huangjie Zheng, Mingyuan Zhou
Leveraging well-established MCMC strategies, we propose MCMC-interactive variational inference (MIVI) to not only estimate the posterior in a time constrained manner, but also faci…
Weibull Racing Survival Analysis with Competing Events, Left Truncation, and Time-varying Covariates
Quan Zhang, Yanxun Xu, Mei-Cheng Wang +1
We propose Bayesian nonparametric Weibull delegate racing (WDR) for survival analysis with competing events and achieve both model interpretability and flexibility. Utilizing a nat…
Nonparametric Bayesian Lomax delegate racing for survival analysis with competing risks
Quan Zhang, Mingyuan Zhou
We propose Lomax delegate racing (LDR) to explicitly model the mechanism of survival under competing risks and to interpret how the covariates accelerate or decelerate the time to…
Permuted and Augmented Stick-Breaking Bayesian Multinomial Regression
Quan Zhang, Mingyuan Zhou
To model categorical response variables given their covariates, we propose a permuted and augmented stick-breaking (paSB) construction that one-to-one maps the observed categories…
