Diagonal Orthant Multinomial Probit Models
Bayesian classification commonly relies on probit models, with data augmentation algorithms used for posterior computation. By imputing latent Gaussian variables, one can often trivially adapt computational approaches used in Gaussian models. However, MCMC for multinomial probit (MNP) models can be inefficient in practice due to high posterior dependence between latent variables and parameters,...
متن کاملSymmetric Bayesian Multinomial Probit Models
Standard Bayesian multinomial probit (MNP) models that are fit using different base categories can give different predictions. Therefore, we propose the symmetric MNP model, which does not make reference to a base category. To achieve this, we employ novel sum-to-zero identifying restrictions on the latent utilities and regression coefficients that define the model. This results in a model whos...
متن کاملSimulated z-Tests in Multinomial Probit Models
Within the framework of Monte Carlo experiments, this paper systematically compares different versions of the simulated z-test (using the GHK simulator) in oneand multiperiod multinomial probit models. One important finding is that, in the flexible probit models, the tests on parameters of explanatory variables mostly provide robust results in contrast to the tests on variance-covariance parame...
متن کاملApproximation and Simulation of the Multinomial Probit Model: An Analysis of Covariance Matrix Estimation
The multinomial probit (MNP) model is a primary application for combining simulation with estimation. Indeed, McFadden (1989) featured the MNP model in his seminal paper. As random utility model, the MNP model offers a highly desirable flexibility in substitution among alternatives that its chief rival, the multinomial logit model, fails to possess. The unrestricted character of the variance ma...
متن کاملA multinomial probit model of stochastic evolution
A strategy revision process in symmetric normal form games is proposed. Following Kandori, Mailath, and Rob (1993), members of a population periodically revise their strategy choice, and choose a myopic best response to currently observed play. Their payoffs are perturbed by normally distributed Harsanyian (1973) trembles, so that strategies are chosen according to multinomial probit probabilit...
