Double Dirichlet Process Mixtures Sanjib Basu Northern Illinois University and Rush University Medical Center Siddhartha Chib Washington University, St. Louis
Dirichlet process mixtures are active research areas • Dirichlet mixtures are it! • The flexibility of DPM models supported its huge popularity in wide variety of areas of application. • DPM models are general and can be argued to have less structure. • Double Dirichlet Process Mixtures add a degree of structure, possibly at the expense of some degree of flexibility, but possibly with better interpretability in some cases • We discuss applications (and limitations) of these semiparametric double mixtures • We compare fit-prediction duality with competing models
Other DP extensions • Double Dirichlet process mixtures are a subclass of dependent Dirichlet Process mixtures (MacEachern 1999,……) • Double DP mixture are different from Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes (The et al. 2006 ) • Double DPM is simply independent DPMS
Motivating Example 1 • Luminex measurements on two biomarker proteins from n=156 Patients • IL-1β protein • C-reactive protein • The biological effects of these two proteins are thought to be not (totally) overlapping.
Two Biomarkers (y1 and y2) • Usual DP mixture of normals (Ferguson 1983,…..) Questions • Should we model the two biomarkers jointly? • Should we cluster the patients based on both biomarkers jointly? • The biomarkers may operate somewhat independently.
Double DP mixtures • Equicorrelation – corr(y1i, y2i) are assumed to be the same for all i=1,…,n • Clustering based on biomarker 1 and based on biomarker 2 can be different
Motivating Example 2: Interrater Agreement • Agreement between 2 Raters (Melia and Diener-West 1994) • Each rater provides an ordinal rating on a scale of 1-5 (lowest to highest invasion)of the extent to which tumor has invaded the eye,n=885
Interrater agreement • Kottas, Muller, Quintana (2005) analyzed these data using a flexible DP mixture of Bivariate probit ordinal model which modeled the unstructured joint probabilities prob(Rater 1=i and Rater2 = j), i=1,…,5, j=1,…,5 • One way to quantify interrrater agrrement is to measure departure from the structured model of independence • We consider a (mixture of) Double DP mixtures model here which provides separate DP structures for the two raters. We then measure ``agreement’’ from this model.
Motivating Example 3 • Mixed model for longitudinal data • It is common to assume (Bush and MacEachern 1996) • Modeling the error covariance i or the error variance (if i =diag(2i)) extends the normal distribution assumption to normal scale mixtures (t, Logistic,…)
Putting the two together • One way to combine these two structures is • Do we expect the random effects bi appearing in the modeling the mean and the error variances to cluster similarly? • The error variance model often is used to extend the distributional assumption.
Double DPM • I will discuss • Fitting • Applicability • Flexibility • Limitations of such double semiparametric mixtures • I will also compare these models with usual DP models via predictive model comparison criteria
Dirichlet process • Dirichlet Process is a probability measure on the space of distributions (probability measures) G. • G ~ Dirichlet Process (G0), where G0 is a probability • Dirichlet Process assigns positive mass to every open set of probabilities on support(G0) • Conjugacy:Y1,…., Yn ~ i.i.d. G, (G) = DP( G0)Then Posterior (G|Y) ~ DP( G0 + nFn) where Fn is the empirical distn. • Polya Urn Scheme
Stick breaking and discreteness • G~ DP( G0) impliesG is almost surely discrete
Bayes estimate from DP • The discrete nature of a random G from a DP leads to some disturbing features, such as this result from Diaconis and Freedman (1986) • Location model yi = + i, i=1,…n • has prior (), such as a normal prior • 1,…, n ~ i.i.d. GG ~ DP(G0) - symmetrizedG0= Cauchy or t-distn • Then the posterior mean is an inconsistent estimate of
Dirichlet process mixtures (DPM) • If we marginalize over i, we obtain a semiparametric mixturewhere the mixing distribution G is random and follows DP(G0)
DPM - clusters • Since G is almost surely discrete, 1,…,nform clusters • 1= 5 = 8 1unique • 2= 3 = 4= 6= 7 2uniqueetc. • The number of clusters, and the clusters themselves, are random.
DPM – MCMC • The Polya urn/marginalized sampler (Escobar 1994, Escobar & West 1995) samples ione-at-a-time from(i | -i, data) • Improvements, known as collapsed samplers, are proposed in MacEachern (1994, 1998) where, instead of sampling i, only the cluster membership of iare sampled. • For non-conjugate DPM (sampling density f(yi |i ) and base measure G0 are not conjugate), various algorithms have been proposed.
Finite truncation and Blocked Gibbs • With this finite truncation, it is now a finite mixture model with stick-breaking structure on qj • (1,....,n) and(q1,....,qM) can be updated in blocks (instead of one-at-time as in Polya Urn sampler) which may provide better mixing
Comments • In each iteration, the Polya urn/marginal sampler cycles thru each observation, and for each, assigns its membership among a new and existing clusters. • The Poly urn sampler is also not straightforward to implement in non-linear (non-conjugate) problems or when the sample size n may not be fixed. • For the blocked sampler, on the other hand, the choice of the truncation M is not well understood.
Model comparison in DPM models • Basu and Chib (2003) developed Bayes factor/ marginal likelihood computation method for DPM. • This provided a framework for quantitativecomparison of DPM with competing parametric and semi/nonparametric models.
Marginal likelihood of DPM • Based on the Basic marginal identity (Chib 1995)log-posterior()=log-likelihood() + log-prior() - log-marginallog-marginal = log-likelihood(*) + log-prior(*) – log-posterior(*) • The posterior ordinate of DPM is evaluated via prequential conditioning as in Chib (1995) • The likelihood ordinate of DPM is evaluated from a (collapsed) sequential importance sampler.
Double Dirichlet process mixtures (DDPM) • Marginalization obtains a double semiparametric mixturewhere the mixing distributions Gand G are random
A simpler model: normal means only • We generate n=50 (i,i) means and then (yi1,yi2) observations from this Double-DPM model
Single DPM in the bivariate mean vector Double DPM in mean components
Model fitting • We fitted the Double DPM and the Bivariate DPM models to these data. • The Double DPM model can be fit by a two-stage Polya urn sampler or a two-stage blocked Gibbs sampler. • “Collapsing” can become more difficult.
Wallace (asymmetric) criterion for comparing two clusters/partitions • Let S be the number of mean pairs which are in the same cluster in a MCMC posterior draw and also in the true clustering. • Let nk, k=1,..K be the number of means in cluster Ck in the MCMC draw. • Then the Wallace asymmetric criterion for comparing these two clusters is
Measurements on two biomarker proteins by Luminex panels • Frozen parafin embedded tissues, pre and post surgery • Luminex panel • Nodal involvement
Two biomarker proteins • The bivariate DPM • vs the Double DPM
log CPO = log f(yi| y-i) LPML = log f(yi| y-i) Double DP = -1498.67 Bivariate DP= -1533.01
Model comparison • I prefer to use marginal likelihood/ Bayes factor for model comparison. • The DIC (Deviance Information Criterion) , as proposed in Spiegelhalter et al. (2002) can be problematic for missing data/random-effects/mixture models. • Celeux et al. (2006) proposed many different DICs for missing data models
DIC3 • I have earlier considered DIC3 (Celeux et al. 2006, Richardson 2002) in missing data and random effects models which is based on the observed likelihood • The integration over the latent parameters often has to be obtained numerically. • This is difficult in the present problem
DIC9 • I am proposing to use DIC9 which is similar to DIC3 but is based on the conditional likelihood
Convergence rate results: Ghosal and Van Der Vaart (2001) • Normal location mixturesModel:Yi~ i.i.d. p(y) = (y-)dG(), i=1,…,nG ~ DP(G0), G0 is NormalTruth:p0(y) = (y-)dF() • Ghosal and Van Der Vaart (2001): Under some regularity conditions,Hellinger distance(p, p0) 0 “almost surely” at the rate of (log n)3/2/n
Ghosal and Van Der Vaart (2001): results contd. • Bivariate DP location-scale mixture of normalsYi~ i.i.d. p(y) = (y-)dH(,), i=1,…,n H~DP(H0) • Ghosal and Van Der Vaart (2001): If H0 is Normal {a compactly supported distn}, then the convergence rate is(log n)7/2/n • Double DP location-scale mixture of normalsYi~ i.i.d. p(y) = (y-)dG() dG(), i=1,…,n G ~DP(G0), G ~DP(G0) • Ghosal and Van Der Vaart (2001): If G0 is Normal, G0 is compactly supported and the true densityp0(y) = (y-)dF1() dF2() is also a double mixture, then Hellinger distance(p, p0) 0 at the rate of (log n)3/2/n
Interrater data • Agreement between 2 Raters (Melia and Diener-West 1994) • Each rater provides an ordinal rating on a scale of 1-5 (lowest to highest invasion)of the extent to which tumor has invaded the eye,n=885
DPM multivariate ordinal model • Kottas, Muller and Quintana (2005)
Interrater agreement • The objective is to measure agreement between raters beyond what is possible by chance. • This is often measured by departure from independence, often specifically in the diagonals • Polychoric correlation of the latent bivariate normal Z has been used as a measure of association. • ………………… of the latent bivariate normal mixtures???
Latent class model (Agresti & Lang 1993) • C latent classes • Ratings of the two raters within a class are independent
Mixtures of Double DPMs • For each latent class, we model pc1j and pc2k by two separate univariate ordinal probit DPM models
Computational issue • The ``sample size’’ nc in latent group c is not fixed. This causes problem for the polya-urn/marginal sampler which works with fixed sample size • Do, Muller, Tang (2005) suggested a solution to this problem by jointly sampling the latent il =(il,il2) and the latent rating class membership i.
