Analysis of MCMC algorithms for Bayesian linear regression with Laplace errors
Let π denote the intractable posterior density that results when the standard default prior is placed on the parameters in a linear regression model with iid Laplace errors. We analyze the Markov chains underlying two different Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms for exploring π. In particular, it is shown that the Markov operators associated with the data augmentation (DA) algorithm and a sand...
متن کاملConvergence rates and asymptotic standard errors for MCMC algorithms for Bayesian probit regression
Consider a probit regression problem in which Y1, . . . , Yn are independent Bernoulli random variables such that Pr(Yi = 1) = Φ(xi β) where xi is a p-dimensional vector of known covariates associated with Yi, β is a p-dimensional vector of unknown regression coefficients and Φ(·) denotes the standard normal distribution function. We study Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms for exploring the i...
متن کاملLaplace expansions in MCMC algorithms
Complex hierarchical models lead to complicated likelihood and then, in a Bayesian analysis, to complicated posterior distributions. To obtain Bayes estimates such as the posterior mean or bayesian confidence regions, it is therefore necessary to simulate the posterior distribution using a MCMC algorithm. These algorithms get often slower as the number of observations increases, specially in th...
متن کاملAn Empirical Analysis of Algorithms for Bayesian Sparse Linear Regression
Two conceptually similar algorithms for performing sparse linear regression under a Bayesian framework are presented. A novel implementation of a third algorithm is adapted from the log-linear regression task and applied to the linear regression model. The algorithms differ in terms of the search strategy used to explore the space of possible active variables; one uses a greedy approach, while ...
متن کاملBayesian Logistic Regression Model Choice via Laplace-Metropolis Algorithm
Following a Bayesian statistical inference paradigm, we provide an alternative methodology for analyzing a multivariate logistic regression. We use a multivariate normal prior in the Bayesian analysis. We present a unique Bayes estimator associated with a prior which is admissible. The Bayes estimators of the coefficients of the model are obtained via MCMC methods. The proposed procedure...
