This paper studies method of simulated moments (MSM) estimators that are implemented using Bayesian methods, specifically Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Motivation and theory for the methods is provided by Chernozhukov and Hong (2003). The paper shows, experimentally, that confidence intervals...

An alternative model to class conditional probability estimation for classification problems is introduced. The model assumes a deterministic mapping between input space and the set of classes, training data consists of probability distributions of the classes at the measurements points. A...
