Latent factor models for density estimation

Latent factor models for density estimation

Although discrete mixture modelling has formed the backbone of the literature on Bayesian density estimation, there are some well-known disadvantages. As an alternative to discrete mixtures, we propose a class of priors based on random nonlinear functions of a uniform latent variable with an additive residual. The induced prior for …
