Recently, James [15, 16] has derived important results for various models in Bayesian nonparametric inference. In particular, he dened a spatial version of neutral to the right processes and derived their posterior distribution. Moreover, he obtained the posterior distribution for an intensity...

In this paper we propose a simple Bayesian block wavelet shrinkage method for estimating an unknown function in the presence of Gaussian noise. A data-driven procedure which can adaptively choose the block size and the shrinkage level at each resolution level is provided. The asymptotic property...

In this paper we show that particular Gibbs sampler Markov processes can be modified to an autoregressive Markov process. The procedure allows the easy derivation of the innovation variables which provide strictly stationary autoregressive processes with fixed marginals. In particular, we...

We introduce approaches to performing Bayesian nonparametric statistical inference for distribution functions exhibiting a stochastic ordering. We consider Pólya tree prior distributions, and Bernstein polynomial prior distributions, and each prior provides an appealing and simple way of...

This article investigates the problem of Bayesian nonparametric regression. The proposed model is based on a recently introduced random distribution function, which is based on a decreasing set of weights. The approach is surprisingly of a much simpler form than alternative models described in...

This paper extends recent ideas for constructing classes of stationary autoregressive processes of order 1. A Gibbs sampler representation of such processes is extended in a straightforward way to introduce new processes. These maintain a linear expectation property which provides a simple...

An approach to constructing strictly stationary AR(1)-type models with arbitrary stationary distributions and a flexible dependence structure is introduced. Bayesian nonparametric predictive density functions, based on single observations, are used to construct the one-step ahead predictive...
