Bayesian Posterior Predictive Checks for Complex Models
In sociological research, it is often difficult to compare nonnested models and to evaluate the fit of models in which outcome variables are not normally distributed. In this article, the authors demonstrate the utility of Bayesian posterior predictive distributions specifically, as well as a Bayesian approach to modeling more generally, in tackling these issues. First, they review the Bayesian...
متن کاملDiagnostic checks for discrete-data regression models using posterior predictive simulations
Model checking with discrete data regressions can be dif®cult because the usual methods such as residual plots have complicated reference distributions that depend on the parameters in the model. Posterior predictive checks have been proposed as a Bayesian way to average the results of goodness-of-®t tests in the presence of uncertainty in estimation of the parameters. We try this approach usin...
متن کاملPosterior Predictive Checks for Model Assessment in Occupancy Modeling
Though methodology and motivation for the use of posterior predictive checks has been introduced in some textbooks (e.g. Gelman et al. 2004), the technique is not commonplace in, for example, applied ecological studies using Bayesian techniques. In many studies using Bayesian techniques, the only semblance of model checking is the use of DIC for model selection, but this does not provide practi...
متن کاملPosterior predictive checks of coalescent models: P2C2M, an R package.
Bayesian inference operates under the assumption that the empirical data are a good statistical fit to the analytical model, but this assumption can be challenging to evaluate. Here, we introduce a novel r package that utilizes posterior predictive simulation to evaluate the fit of the multispecies coalescent model used to estimate species trees. We conduct a simulation study to evaluate the co...
متن کاملMeasuring Confidence in Temporal Topic Models with Posterior Predictive Checks
Large text collections are useful in social science research, but building reliable predictive models is difficult. Researchers must either deal directly with sparse, noisy, high dimensional language data or use latent variable models to infer more tractable lower dimensional patterns. For conclusions based on latent variable models to be reliable, however, it is necessary to measure the degree...
