Bayesian Inference for Poisson and Multinomial Log-linear Models
Categorical data frequently arise in applications in the social sciences. In such applications,the class of log-linear models, based on either a Poisson or (product) multinomial response distribution, is a flexible model class for inference and prediction. In this paper we consider the Bayesian analysis of both Poisson and multinomial log-linear models. It is often convenient to model multinomi...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملThe Dirichlet-Multinomial and Dirichlet-Categorical models for Bayesian inference
There are some pedagogical concerns to be noted. First, the pdf f(x) is technically defined only in (K−1)-dimensional space and not K; this is because SK has zero measure in K dimensions. Second, the support is actually the open simplex, meaning all xi > 0 (which implies no xi = 1). The Dirichlet distribution is a generalization of the Beta distribution, which is the conjugate prior for coin fl...
متن کاملMonitoring Multinomial Logit Profiles via Log-Linear Models (Quality Engineering Conference Paper)
In certain statistical process control applications, quality of a process or product can be characterized by a function commonly referred to as profile. Some of the potential applications of profile monitoring are cases where quality characteristic of interest is modelled using binary,multinomial or ordinal variables. In this paper, profiles with multinomial response are studied. For this purpo...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Sparse Generalized Linear Models
We present a framework for efficient, accurate approximate Bayesian inference in generalized linear models (GLMs), based on the expectation propagation (EP) technique. The parameters can be endowed with a factorizing prior distribution, encoding properties such as sparsity or non-negativity. The central role of posterior log-concavity in Bayesian GLMs is emphasized and related to stability issu...
