BNP prior series: From Gaussian Process to Gaussian Markov Random Field: many GP related models applied to Albeto data

Published:

In this post, I will review class projects in STAT 245 Spatial Statistics. The main models include stationary Gaussian Processes Bayesian inference, Predictive Gaussian Process, and finally Gaussian Markov Random Field. The goal is to highlight model properties, implementation details, and present some real data analysis with these three models applied to the Albedo satellite data in North America.

BNP prior series: Dirichlet Process

Published:

This post will focus on the theory of DP, Dirichlet Process Mixture Model, and Spatial Dirichlet Process. The goal is to synthesize the results obtained through independent studies on BNP methods with Prof. Kottas.
