Abstract:
We develop a Bayesian estimation method to non-parametric mixed-effect models under shape-constrains. The approach uses a hierarchical Bayesian framework and characterizations of shape-constrained Bernstein polynomials (BPs). We employ Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for model fitting, using a truncated normal distribution as the prior for the coefficients of BPs to ensure the desired shape constraints. The small sample properties of the Bayesian shape-constrained estimators across a range of functions are provided via simulation studies. Two real data analysis are given to illustrate the application of the proposed method.
