Nonparametric Bayesian Density Modeling with Gaussian Processes

Description
We present the Gaussian Process Density Sampler (GPDS), an exchangeable generative
model for use in nonparametric Bayesian density estimation. Samples drawn from the GPDS
are consistent with exact, independent samples from a fixed density function that is a transformation
of a function drawn from a Gaussian process prior. Our formulation allows us to
infer an unknown density from data using Markov chain Monte Carlo, which gives samples
from the posterior distribution over density functions and from the predictive distribution on
data space. We describe two such MCMC methods. Both methods also allow inference of the
hyperparameters of the Gaussian process.
