摘要
Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) models provide a flexible tool in modeling many processes. One area that has not yet utilized BNP estimation is semi-Markov processes (SMPs). SMPs require a significant amount of computation; this, coupled with the computation requirements for BNP models, has hampered any applications of SMPs using BNP estimation. This paper presents a modeling and computational approach for BNP estimation in semi-Markov models, which includes a simulation study and an application of asthma patients' first passage from one state of control to another.
