Bayesian semiparametric regression based on MCMC techniques: A tutorial
This tutorial demonstrates the usage of BayesX for analysing Bayesian semiparametric regression models based on MCMC techniques. As an example we consider data on undernutrition of children in Zambia. The tutorial is designed to be self-contained and describes all features of BayesX in detail, that will be needed throughout the tutorial. Therefore it may also serve as a first introduction into ...
متن کاملBayesian semiparametric additive quantile regression
Quantile regression provides a convenient framework for analyzing the impact of covariates on the complete conditional distribution of a response variable instead of only the mean. While frequentist treatments of quantile regression are typically completely nonparametric, a Bayesian formulation relies on assuming the asymmetric Laplace distribution as auxiliary error distribution that yields po...
متن کاملApproaches for Semiparametric Bayesian Regression
Developing regression relationships is a primary inferential activity. We consider such relationships in the context of hierarchical models incorporating linear structure at each stage. Modern statistical work encourages less presump-tive, i.e., nonparametric speciications for at least a portion of the modeling. That is, we seek to enrich the class of standard parametric hierarchical models by ...
متن کاملBayesian inference for semiparametric binary regression
We propose a regression model for binary response data which places no structural restrictions on the link function except monotonicity and known location and scale. Predictors enter linearly. We demonstrate Bayesian inference calculations in this model. By modifying the Dirichlet process, we obtain a natural prior measure over this semiparametric model, and we use Polya sequence theory to form...
متن کاملBayesian Semiparametric Regression for Median Residual Life
With survival data there is often interest not only in the survival time distribution but also in the residual survival time distribution. In fact, regression models to explain residual survival time might be desired. Building upon recent work of Kottas and Gelfand (2001) we formulate a semiparametric median residual life regression model induced by a semiparametric accelerated failure time reg...
