Bayesian Stochastic Frontier Analysis Using WinBUGS
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have become a ubiquitous tool in Bayesian analysis. This paper implements MCMC methods for Bayesian analysis of stochastic frontier models using the WinBUGS package, a freely available software. General code for cross-sectional and panel data are presented and various ways of summarizing posterior inference are discussed. Several examples illustrate that ...
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 کاملStochastic Non-Parametric Frontier Analysis
In this paper we develop an approach that synthesizes the best features of the two main methods in the estimation of production efficiency. Specically, our approach first allows for statistical noise, similar to Stochastic frontier analysis, and second, it allows modeling multiple-inputs-multiple-outputs technologies without imposing parametric assumptions on production relationship, similar to...
متن کاملEfficient Bayesian Model Averaging in Factor Analysis
Although factor analytic models have proven useful for covariance structure modeling and dimensionality reduction in a wide variety of applications, a challenging problem is uncertainty in the number of latent factors. This article proposes an efficient Bayesian approach for model selection and averaging in hierarchical models having one or more factor analytic components. In particular, the ap...
متن کاملStochastic averaging and sensitivity analysis for two scale reaction networks.
In the presence of multiscale dynamics in a reaction network, direct simulation methods become inefficient as they can only advance the system on the smallest scale. This work presents stochastic averaging techniques to accelerate computations for obtaining estimates of expected values and sensitivities with respect to the steady state distribution. A two-time-scale formulation is used to estab...
