Adaptive testing of conditional association through Bayesian recursive mixture modeling
In many case-control studies, a central goal is to test for association or dependence between the predictors and the response. Relevant covariates must be conditioned on to avoid false positives and loss in power. Conditioning on covariates is easy in parametric frameworks such as the logistic regression—by incorporating the covariates into the model as additional variables. In contrast, nonpar...
متن کاملModeling Conditional Distributions of Continuous Variables in Bayesian Networks
The MTE (mixture of truncated exponentials) model was introduced as a general solution to the problem of specifying conditional distributions for continuous variables in Bayesian networks, especially as an alternative to discretization. In this paper we compare the behavior of two different approaches for constructing conditional MTE models in an example taken from Finance, which is a domain we...
متن کاملVariational Bayesian Model Selection for Mixture Distributions
Mixture models, in which a probability distribution is represented as a linear superposition of component distributions, are widely used in statistical modeling and pattern recognition. One of the key tasks in the application of mixture models is the determination of a suitable number of components. Conventional approaches based on cross-validation are computationally expensive, are wasteful of...
متن کاملBayesian inference for multivariate gamma distributions
The paper considers the multivariate gamma distribution for which the method of moments has been considered as the only method of estimation due to the complexity of the likelihood function. With a non-conjugate prior, practical Bayesian analysis can be conducted using Gibbs sampling with data augmentation. The new methods are illustrated using artificial data for a trivariate gamma distributio...
متن کاملBayesian Methods for Mixture Modeling
This Master’s thesis is mostly focused on Bayesian methods for the selection and testing of discrete mixture models. The main problem that is studied in the project is the analysis of data sets of several categorical variables (e.g. test items, symptoms, genes) collected on a set of subjects. We fit a discrete mixture model to the data which means that the dependencies among the different varia...
