Predicting waste generation using Bayesian model averaging
A prognosis model has been developed for solid waste generation from households in Hoi An City, a famous tourist city in Viet Nam. Waste sampling, followed by a questionnaire survey, was carried out to gather data. The Bayesian model average method was used to identify factors significantly associated with waste generation. Multivariate linear regression analysis was then applied to evaluate th...
متن کاملBayesian Model Averaging, Mixture Models, and Rating Crop Insurance Contracts
The Agricultural Act of 2014 solidified insurance as the cornerstone of U.S. agricultural policy. The Congressional Budget Office (2014) estimates this Act will increase spending on agricultural insurance programs by $5.7 billion to a total of $89.8 billion over the next decade. In 2014, total government liabilities associated with the crop insurance program exceeded $108.5 billion. In light of...
متن کاملBayesian Model Averaging: A Tutorial
Standard statistical practice ignores model uncertainty. Data analysts typically select a model from some class of models and then proceed as if the selected model had generated the data. This approach ignores the uncertainty in model selection, leading to over-confident inferences and decisions that are more risky than one thinks they are. Bayesian model averaging (BMA) provides a coherent mec...
متن کاملMixture model averaging for clustering
Mixture Model Averaging for Clustering Yuhong Wei University of Guelph, 2012 Advisor: Dr. Paul D. McNicholas Model-based clustering is based on a finite mixture of distributions, where each mixture component corresponds to a different group, cluster, subpopulation, or part thereof. Gaussian mixture distributions are most often used. Criteria commonly used in choosing the number of components in...
متن کاملTuned Bayesian Model Averaging
In this paper, we suggest an empirical Bayes-type prior for the model space in Bayesian model averaging (BMA) in a method we call tuned Bayesian model averaging (tBMA). This method relies on leave-one-out cross validation to choose a hyper-parameter that will cause the averaging process to favor either smaller or richer models in the prior distribution over the models. We find that this method ...
