Heteroscedastic BART Using Multiplicative Regression Trees
Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) has become increasingly popular as a flexible and scalable non-parametric model useful in many modern applied statistics regression problems. It brings many advantages to the practitioner dealing with large and complex non-linear response surfaces, such as a matrix-free formulation and the lack of a requirement to specify a regression basis a priori. Ho...

agreed-upon moral precepts, such as telling the truth and not harming others, are rules for living together that any intelligent gregarious beings would put into their social contracts, needing no divine sanction. In contrast, little good can come from parochial doctrines that cannot be justifi ed by universal standards of reason. Coyne doesn’t dwell on obvious historical disasters, such as rel...

متن کاملExplaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model
This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...
متن کاملAssessing the Treatment Effect Heterogeneity with a Latent Variable
The average treatment effect (ATE) is popularly used to assess the effect of treatment. However, the ATE implicitly assumes a homogenous treatment effect even amongst individuals with different characteristics. In order to describe the magnitude of heterogeneity, we define the treatment benefit rate (TBR) as the proportion of individuals in different subgroups who benefit from the treatment and...
