Consistency of mixture models with a prior on the number of components

Jeffrey W. Miller

This article establishes general conditions for posterior consistency of Bayesian finite mixture models with a prior on the number of components. That is, we provide sufficient con…

Bayesian data selection

Eli N. Weinstein, Jeffrey W. Miller

Insights into complex, high-dimensional data can be obtained by discovering features of the data that match or do not match a model of interest. To formalize this task, we introduc…

Bayesian Optimal Experimental Design for Inferring Causal Structure

Michele Zemplenyi, Jeffrey W. Miller

Inferring the causal structure of a system typically requires interventional data, rather than just observational data. Since interventional experiments can be costly, it is prefer…

Inference in generalized bilinear models

Jeffrey W. Miller, Scott L. Carter

Latent factor models are widely used to discover and adjust for hidden variation in modern applications. However, most methods do not fully account for uncertainty in the latent fa…

Robust Inference and Model Criticism Using Bagged Posteriors

Jonathan H. Huggins, Jeffrey W. Miller

Standard Bayesian inference is known to be sensitive to model misspecification, leading to unreliable uncertainty quantification and poor predictive performance. However, finding g…

Fast and accurate approximation of the full conditional for gamma shape parameters

Jeffrey W. Miller

The gamma distribution arises frequently in Bayesian models, but there is not an easy-to-use conjugate prior for the shape parameter of a gamma. This inconvenience is usually dealt…
