New Empirical Bayes Method for Correlated Gaussian Sequences

Researchers have developed a new method for empirical Bayes estimation in correlated Gaussian sequence models. This approach utilizes a maximum Composite Marginal Likelihood (CML) estimator, which effectively handles dependent observations by ignoring correlations in the likelihood. The CML estimator demonstrates convergence at a rate of $n_*^{-1/2}$, where $n_*$ is the effective sample size, indicating near rate optimality under general dependence. The method is applied to Bayesian linear regression and Bayesian nonlinear single-index models, leveraging high-dimensional distributions of auxiliary statistics. AI
