Prof. Bodhisattva Sen We consider estimation and inference in a two component mixture model where the distribution of one component is completely unknown. We develop methods for estimating the mixing proportion and the unknown distribution nonparametrically, given i.i.d. data from the mixture model. We use ideas from shape restricted function estimation and develop “tuning parameter free” estimators that are easily implementable and have good finite sample performance. We establish the consistency of our procedures. Distribution-free finite sample lower confidence bounds are developed for the mixing proportion. |

Charles Margossian (Columbia) Title: Bayesian Modeling in Pharmacometrics Abstract: There is a growing interest the application of Bayesian modeling to Biomedicine and quantitative pharmacology. Biomedical models are often complex and high-dimensional, which motivates the development of new computational tools to perform efficient Bayesian analysis. I will examine such tools, as they are implemented (or have yet to be implemented) in the software Stan and its pharmacometrics extension Torsten. |
