False discovery rate smoothing
Wesley Tansey, Oluwasanmi Koyejo, Russell A. Poldrack +1
We present false discovery rate smoothing, an empirical-Bayes method for exploiting spatial structure in large multiple-testing problems. FDR smoothing automatically finds spatiall…
Vertical-likelihood Monte Carlo
Nicholas G. Polson, James G. Scott
In this review, we address the use of Monte Carlo methods for approximating definite integrals of the form , where is a target function (often a likelihoo…
Mixtures, envelopes, and hierarchical duality
Nicholas G. Polson, James G. Scott
We develop a connection between mixture and envelope representations of objective functions that arise frequently in statistics. We refer to this connection using the term "hierarc…
Sampling Polya-Gamma random variates: alternate and approximate techniques
Jesse Windle, Nicholas G. Polson, James G. Scott
Efficiently sampling from the Pólya-Gamma distribution, , is an essential element of Pólya-Gamma data augmentation. Polson et. al (2013) show how to efficiently sample f…
Priors for Random Count Matrices Derived from a Family of Negative Binomial Processes
Mingyuan Zhou, Oscar Hernan Madrid Padilla, James G. Scott
We define a family of probability distributions for random count matrices with a potentially unbounded number of rows and columns. The three distributions we consider are derived f…
