Bayesian curve estimation by model averaging
A Bayesian approach is used to estimate a nonparametric regression model. The main features of the procedure are, first, the functional form of the curve is approximated by a mixture of local polynomials by Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA); second, the model weights are approximated by the BIC criterion, and third, a robust estimation procedure is incorporated to improve the smoothness of the est...
متن کاملPredicting 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 comparison and model averaging for small-area estimation
This paper considers small-area estimation with proportion data, and discusses the choice of upper-level model for the variation over areas. Inference about the random effects for the areas may depend strongly on the choice of this model, but this choice is not a straightforward matter. We show that posterior distributions of the deviances for the competing models provide a valuable tool for th...
متن کاملBayesian curve estimation by polynomialsof random
A Bayesian method of estimating an unknown regression curve by a polynomial of random order is proposed. A joint distribution is assigned over both the set of possible orders of the polynomial and the polynomial coeecients. 1995) are used to compute required posteriors. The methodology is extended to polynomials of random order with discontinuties and to piecewise poly-nomials of random order. ...
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 ...
