Nonparametric Bayes Estimators Based on Beta Processes in Models for Life History Data
Nonparametric Bayes Estimators Based on Beta Processes in Models for Life History Data
Several authors have constructed nonparametric Bayes estimators for a cumulative distribution function based on (possibly right-censored) data. The prior distributions have, for example, been Dirichlet processes or, more generally, processes neutral to the right. The present article studies the related problem of finding Bayes estimators for cumulative hazard rates and …
