Nonparametric Bayesian Inference
Peter Müller and Abel Rodriguez
View this volume in:
Project Euclid
This volume can be purchased through IMS
These notes arose out of a short course at UC Santa Cruz in summer
2010. Like the course, the notes provide an overview of some popular
Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) probability models. The discussion
follows a logical development of many commonly used nonparametric
Bayesian models as generalizations of the Dirichlet process (DP) in
different directions, including Pólya tree (PT) models, species
sampling models (SSM), dependent DP (DDP) models and product partition
models (PPM). The selection of topics is subjective, simply driven by
what the authors are familiar with. As a result, some useful and
elegant classes of models such as normalized random measures with
random increments (NRMIs) are reviewed only briefly.

The analysis of data with outcomes measured repeatedly on each subject
has experienced several transforming developments in the last twenty
years. This monograph presents a unified treatment of modern methods
for longitudinal and/or correlated data that have developed during
this period. The basic approach that the author takes to modeling longitudinal
data is to extend familiar univariate regression models to multivariate
or correlated outcomes. The author deals with linear models for measured data
and generalized linear models for binary and count data. The author shows how
methods can accommodate missing outcomes and/or unbalanced designs.
Both likelihood and moment methods of estimation are covered, as are
random effects approaches to data modeling and parameter estimation.
The monograph assumes that the reader has a solid foundation in
statistical inference, linear and generalized linear regression models, and
a basic knowledge of multivariate methods. It is appropriate for second
year doctoral students or postdoctoral fellows in Statistics/Biostatistics
as well as researchers or faculty interested in learning about the field.

Generalized Linear Mixed Models explores the idea of statistical
models that incorporate random factors into generalized
linear models. This accommodates correlated data, nonlinear
models and non-normally distributed responses. The monograph
illustrates the richness of inferential goals possible
and computational details in fitting these models for
a variety of data sets.
