Empirical Bayes procedure of nonparametric estiamtion of cumulative hazard rates based on censored data is considered using the beta process priors of Hjort(1990). Beta process priors with unknown parameters are used for cumulative hazard rates. Empirical Bayes estimators are suggested and asymptotic optimality is proved. Our result generalizes that of Susarla and Van Ryzin(1978) in the sensor that (i) the cumulative hazard rate induced by a Dirichlet process is a beta process, (ii) our empirical Bayes estimator does not depend on the censoring distribution while that of Susarla and Van Ryzin(1978) does, (iii) a class of estimators of the hyperprameters is suggested in the prior distribution which is assumed known in advance in Susarla and Van Ryzin(1978). This extension makes the proposed empirical Bayes procedure more applicable to real dta sets.

Hjort(1990) obtained the nonparametric Bayes estimator $\^{F}_{c,a}$ of $F_0$ with respect to beta processes in the random censorship model. Let $X_1,{\cdots},X_n$ be i.i.d. $F_0$ and let $C_1,{\cdot},\;C_n$ be i.i.d. G. Assume that $F_0$ and G are continuous. This paper shows that {$\^{F}_{c,a}$(u){\|}0 < u < T} converges weakly to a Gaussian process whenever T < $\infty$ and $\~{F}_0({\tau})\;<\;1$.

각 성분 문제에서, 표본의 크기가 상이한 경우 Dirichlet process prior에 대한 경험적 베이 즈에 대한 분포함수의 추정문제를 연구하였다. 특히, 위의 경험적 베이즈 문제에 사용할 수 있도록 Zehnwirth의 $\alpha(R)$을 수정하였다.

비모수 베이지안 통계 모형은 그 유연성과 계산의 편리성으로 인해 최근 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있는데, 본 논문에서는 생물/의학/보건 연구에서 사용되는 비모수 베이지안 통계 모형에 대해서 개괄하였다. 본 논문에서는 비모수 베이지안 통계 모델링에서 핵심적으로 사용되는 확률모형들을 소개하고, 다양한 예제들을 통하여 그 모형들이 어떻게 사용되는지 이해를 돕도록 하였다. 특별히, 논의된 예제들은 모수적 통계 모형으로 고찰하기에는 한계가 있는 연구가설들을 포함하고 있어 모수적 모형의 한계점을 지적하고 비모수적 베이지안 모형의 필요성을 강조하는 것들로 정하였다. 크게 확률밀도함수 추정, 군집분석, 임의효과 분포의 추정, 그리고 회귀분석의 4가지 주제로 분류하여 살펴보았다.

This paper addresses the nonparametric Bayesian estimation for the exponential populations under type II censoring. The Dirichlet process prior is used to provide nonparametric Bayesian estimates of parameters of exponential populations. In the past, there have been computational difficulties with nonparametric Bayesian problems. This paper solves these difficulties by a Gibbs sampler algorithm. This procedure is applied to a real example and is compared with a classical estimator.

In this paper, we develop a nonparametric Bayesian methodology of estimating an unknown distribution function F at the given survival time with current status data under the assumption of Dirichlet process prior on F. We compare our algorithm with the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator through application to simulated data and real data.

커널밀도함수의 추정을 이용한 분류 문제에서 평활모수(smoothing parameter, bandwidth)의 선택은 핵심적으로 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 분류에서 베이즈 리스크를 최적화하기 위한 평활모수의 선택이 각 개별 확률밀도함수를 추정하기 위한 최적의 평활모수와 어떤 관계가 있는지 살펴보았다. 실제 상황에서 사용할 수 있는 평활모수의 선택 방법으로 붓스트랩(bootstrap)과 교차확인법(cross-validation)을 이용하는 것을 비교한 결과, 붓스트랩 방법은 Hall과 Kang (2005)에서 밝혀진 이론적인 성질에 부합하는 반면 교차확인법은 그렇지 못함을 확인하였다. 또한, 각 방법으로 정한 평활모수를 사용하여 오분류율을 조사해 본 결과에서도 붓스트랩 방법이 우월함을 알 수 있었다.

Let F and G denote the distribution functions of the failure times and the censoring variables in a random censorship model. Susarla and Van Ryzin(1978) verified consistency of $F_{\alpha}$, he NPBE of F with respect to the Dirichlet process prior D($\alpha$), in which they assumed F and G are continuous. Assuming that A, the cumulative hazard function, is distributed according to a beta process with parameters c, $\alpha$, Hjort(1990) obtained the Bayes estimator $A_{c,\alpha}$ of A under a squared error loss function. By the theory of product-integral developed by Gill and Johansen(1990), the Bayes estimator $F_{c,\alpha}$ is recovered from $A_{c,\alpha}$. Continuity assumption on F and G is removed in our proof of the consistency of $A_{c,\alpha}$ and $F_{c,\alpha}$. Our result extends Susarla and Van Ryzin(1978) since a particular transform of a beta process is a Dirichlet process and the class of beta processes forms a much larger class than the class of Dirichlet processes.

We consider the problem of optimal bandwidth choice for nonparametric classification, based on kernel density estimators, where the problem of interest is distinguishing between two univariate distributions. When the densities intersect at a single point, optimal bandwidth choice depends on curvatures of the densities at that point. The problem of empirical bandwidth selection and classifying data in the tails of a distribution are also addressed.

The paper considers nonparametric empirical Bayes estimation of residual survival function at age t using a Dirichlet process prior V(a). Empirical Bayes estimators are proposed for the case where both the function ${\alpha}$(0, $\chi$] and the size a(R$\^$+/) are unknown. It is shown that the proposed empirical Bayes estimators are asymptotically optimal at a rate n$\^$-1/, where n is the number of past data available for the present estimation problem. Therefore, the result of Lahiri and Park (1988) in which a(R$\^$+/) is assumed to be known and a rate n$\^$-1/ is achieved, is extended to a(R$\^$+/) unknown case.
