Bayesian Dependence Tests for Continuous, Binary and Mixed Continuous-Binary Variables
Tests for dependence of continuous, discrete and mixed continuous-discrete variables are ubiquitous in science. The goal of this paper is to derive Bayesian alternatives to frequentist null hypothesis significance tests for dependence. In particular, we will present three Bayesian tests for dependence of binary, continuous and mixed variables. These tests are nonparametric and based on the Diri...
متن کاملQuantization of Continuous Input Variables for Binary Classification
Quantization of continuous variables is important in data analysis, especially for some model classes such as Bayesian networks and decision trees, which use discrete variables. Often, the discretization is based on the distribution of the input variables only whereas additional information, for example in form of class membership is frequently present and could be used to improve the quality o...
متن کاملBinary continuous random networks
Many properties of disordered materials can be understood by looking at idealized structural models, in which the strain is as small as is possible in the absence of long-range order. For covalent amorphous semiconductors and glasses, such an idealized structural model, the continuous-random network, was introduced 70 years ago by Zachariasen. In this model, each atom is placed in a crystal-lik...
متن کاملHierarchical functional data with mixed continuous and binary measurements.
Motivated by objective measurements of physical activity, we take a functional data approach to longitudinal data with simultaneous measurement of a continuous and a binary outcomes. The regression structures are specified as smooth curves measured at various time-points with random effects that have a hierarchical correlation structure. The random effect curves for each variable are summarized...
متن کاملIgnoring information in binary choice with continuous variables:
When can a single variable be more accurate in binary choice than multiple sources of information? We derive analytically the probability that a single variable (SV) will correctly predict one of two choices when both criterion and predictor are continuous variables. We further provide analogous derivations for multiple regression (MR) and equal weighting (EW) and specify the conditions under w...
