# Empirical Bayes Estimation Strategies

Empirical Bayes methods for learning prior distributions from data. An unknown prior distribution (g) has yielded (unobservable) parameters, each of which produces a data point from a parametric exponential family (f). The goal is to estimate the unknown prior ("g-modeling") by deconvolution and Empirical Bayes methods.

An unknown prior density $g(\theta)$ has yielded (unobservable) $\Theta_1, \Theta_2,\ldots,\Theta_N$, and each $\Theta_i$ produces an observation $X_i$ from an exponential family. deconvolveR is an R package for estimating prior distribution $g(\theta)$ from the data using Empirical Bayes deconvolution.

The current package is still under construction but will soon appear on CRAN along with a manuscript. Meanwhile, you can reproduce many examples by installing the package in R thus:

devtools::install_github("bnaras/deconvolveR")
library(deconvolveR)
vignette("deconvolution")


# deconvolveR 1.1

• Major change to deconv. Now, ignoreZero = TRUE by default makes the thinning correction. Please note this change which is also discussed in the vignette.

# deconvolveR 1.0

• Initial release

# Reference manual
