The Bayes Lepski's Method and Credible Bands through Volume of Tubular Neighborhoods

William Weimin Yoo, Aad W. van der Vaart

For a general class of priors based on random series basis expansion, we develop the Bayes Lepski's method to estimate unknown regression function. In this approach, the series tru…

Adaptive Supremum Norm Posterior Contraction: Wavelet Spike-and-Slab and Anisotropic Besov Spaces

William Weimin Yoo, Vincent Rivoirard, Judith Rousseau

Supremum norm loss is intuitively more meaningful to quantify function estimation error in statistics. In the context of multivariate nonparametric regression with unknown error, w…

Bayesian mode and maximum estimation and accelerated rates of contraction

William Weimin Yoo, Subhashis Ghosal

We study the problem of estimating the mode and maximum of an unknown regression function in the presence of noise. We adopt the Bayesian approach by using tensor-product B-splines…

Supremum Norm Posterior Contraction and Credible Sets for Nonparametric Multivariate Regression

William Weimin Yoo, Subhashis Ghosal

In the setting of nonparametric multivariate regression with unknown error variance, we study asymptotic properties of a Bayesian method for estimating a regression function f and…
