A flexible forecast density combination approach is introduced that can deal with large data sets. It extends the mixture of experts approach by allowing for model set incompleteness and dynamic learning of combination weights. A dimension reduction step is introduced using a sequential...

We suggest to extend the stacking procedure for a combination of predictive densities, proposed by Yao, Vehtari, Simpson, and Gelman(2018), to a setting where dynamic learning occurs about features of predictive densities of possibly misspecified models. This improves the averaging process of...

We consider a two-group approach for the model … Dirichlet process (DP) mixture of multivariate normals (other cross-sectional heterogeneity). We develop our approach for … continuous heterogeneity leads to an improved in-sample and out-of-sample performance and interesting insights. These findings …

People typically update their beliefs about their own abilities too little in response to feed-back, a phenomenon known as "conservatism", and some studies suggest that they overweight good relative to bad signals ("asymmetry"). We measure individual conservatism and asymmetry in three tasks...

A flexible predictive density combination model is introduced for large financial data sets which allows for dynamic weight learning and model set incompleteness. Dimension reduction procedures allocate the large sets of predictive densities and combination weights to relatively small sets....

A Bayesian dynamic compositional model is introduced that can deal with combining a large set of predictive densities. It extends the mixture of experts and the smoothly mixing regression models by allowing for combination weight dependence across models and time. A compositional model with...

In several scientific fields, like bioinformatics, financial and macro-economics, important theoretical and practical issues exist that involve multimodal data distributions. We propose a Bayesian approach using mixtures distributions to approximate accurately such data distributions. Shape and...
