We develop a proposal or importance density for state spacemodels with a nonlinear non-Gaussian observation vector y p(y¦)and an unobserved linear Gaussian signal vector p(). The proposaldensity is obtained from the Laplace approximation of the smoothingdensity p(¦y). We present efficient algorithms to calculatethe mode of p(¦y) and to sample from the proposal density.The samples can be used for importance sampling and Markov chainMonte Carlo methods. The new results allow the application ofthese methods to state space models where the observation densityp(y¦) is not log-concave. Additional results are presentedthat lead to computationally efficient implementations. We illustratethe methods for the stochastic volatility model with leverage. 相似文献

Monte Carlo methods have received much attention in the recent literature of phylogeny analysis. However, the conventional Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms, such as the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm, tend to get trapped in a local mode in simulating from the posterior distribution of phylogenetic trees, rendering the inference ineffective. In this paper, we apply an advanced Monte Carlo algorithm, the stochastic approximation Monte Carlo algorithm, to Bayesian phylogeny analysis. Our method is compared with two popular Bayesian phylogeny software, BAMBE and MrBayes, on simulated and real datasets. The numerical results indicate that our method outperforms BAMBE and MrBayes. Among the three methods, SAMC produces the consensus trees which have the highest similarity to the true trees, and the model parameter estimates which have the smallest mean square errors, but costs the least CPU time. 相似文献

This paper presents a Bayesian analysis of a time series of counts to assess its dependence on an explanatory variable. The time series represented is the incidence of the infectious disease ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in an Australian hospital and the explanatory variable is the number of grams of antibiotic (third generation) cephalosporin used during that time. We demonstrate that there is a statistically significant relationship between disease occurrence and use of the antibiotic, lagged by three months. The model used is a parameter-driven model in the form of a generalized linear mixed model. Comparison of models is made in terms of mean square error. 相似文献

A Bayesian approach to the statistical mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) using single markers was implemented via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for parameter estimation and hypothesis testing. Parameters were estimated by marginal posterior means computed with a Gibbs sampler with data augmentation. Variables sampled included the augmented data (marker-QTL genotypes, polygenic effects), the event of linkage or nonlinkage, and the parameters (allele frequencies, QTL substitution effect, recombination rate, polygenic and residual variances). The analysis was evaluated empirically via application to simulated granddaughter designs consisting of 2000 sons, 20 related sires and their ancestors. Results obtained in this study and preliminary work on multiple linked markers and multiple QTLs support the usefulness of the Bayesian method for the statistical mapping of QTLs. 相似文献

A Bayesian semiparametric approach is described for an accelerated failure time model. The error distribution is assigned a Pólya tree prior and the regression parameters a noninformative hierarchical prior. Two cases are considered: the first assumes error terms are exchangeable; the second assumes that error terms are partially exchangeable. A Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is described to obtain a predictive distribution for a future observation given both uncensored and censored data. 相似文献

This paper considers the discrete survival data from a Bayesian point of view. A sequence of the baseline hazard functions, which plays an important role in the discrete hazard function, is modeled with a hidden Markov chain. It is explained how the resultant model is implemented via Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. The model is illustrated by an application of real data. 相似文献

Phylogenetic tree construction using sequential stochastic approximation Monte Carlo 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Monte Carlo methods have received much attention recently in the literature of phylogenetic tree construction. However, they often suffer from two difficulties, the curse of dimensionality and the local-trap problem. The former one is due to that the number of possible phylogenetic trees increases at a super-exponential rate as the number of taxa increases. The latter one is due to that the phylogenetic tree has often a rugged energy landscape. In this paper, we propose a new phylogenetic tree construction method, which attempts to alleviate these two difficulties simultaneously by making use of the sequential structure of phylogenetic trees in conjunction with stochastic approximation Monte Carlo (SAMC) simulations. The use of the sequential structure of the problem provides substantial help to reduce the curse of dimensionality in simulations, and SAMC effectively prevents the system from getting trapped in local energy minima. The new method is compared with a variety of existing Bayesian and non-Bayesian methods on simulated and real datasets. Numerical results are in favor of the new method in terms of quality of the resulting phylogenetic trees. 相似文献

Summary In analyzing the silent nucleotide substitutions in some mammalian mitochondrial mRNA coding genes, we had found that the frequency of each of the four nucleotides in rat, mouse, and cow, but not in humans, is the same in the silent third codon position (Lanave C, Preparata G, Saccone C, Serio G (1984) J Mol Evol 20:86-93). Because our findings for these three species were compatible with a stationary Markov process for the evolution of nucleotide sequences, we applied such a model to calculate the effective evolutionary silent substitution rate (vs) and the divergence times among the species. In this paper we have analyzed the first and second codon positions in the same mammalian mitochondrial genes. We found that in the first and second codon positions the human mitochondrial genes satisfy the stationarity conditions. This has allowed us to use the stochastic model mentioned above to calculate the divergence times among mouse, rat, cow, and human. Furthermore, we have analyzed the silent substitution rate in one nuclear gene for these four mammals. We found that in this gene the effective silent substitution rate is about 3 times lower than in mitochondrial genes, and that humans are in this case stationary with respect to the other three mammals in the third codon position as well. Application of our Markov model to this latter gene yields divergence times consistent with our previous determinations. 相似文献

A Bayesian multivariate adaptive regression spline fitting approach is used to model univariate and multivariate survival data with censoring. The possible models contain the proportional hazards model as a subclass and automatically detect departures from this. A reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is described to obtain the estimate of the hazard function as well as the survival curve. 相似文献
