Predictive Speci cation of Prior Model Probabilities in Variable Selection

چکیده
where Y is an n-vector of responses, X is the n (k+1) full-rank matrix of xed predictor variables with ith row x0i = (xi0; xi1; : : : ; xik), xi0 = 1, = ( 0; : : : ; k) 0 is a (k+1)-vector of regression coe cients, and is an n-vector of random errors that is assumed to have a multivariate normal distribution with zero mean and precision matrix I. Following the notation of Aitchison and Dunsmore (1975), we write

Predictive Model Selection
We consider the problem of selecting one model from a large class of plausible models. A predictive Bayesian viewpoint is advocated to avoid the speci cation of prior probabilities for the candidate models and the detailed interpretation of the parameters in each model. Using criteria derived from a certain predictive density and a prior speci cation that emphasizes the observables, we implemen...
متن کاملBayesian Input Variable Selection Using Posterior Probabilities and Expected Utilities
We consider the input variable selection in complex Bayesian hierarchical models. Our goal is to find a model with the smallest number of input variables having statistically or practically at least the same expected utility as the full model with all the available inputs. A good estimate for the expected utility can be computed using cross-validation predictive densities. In the case of input ...
متن کاملBayesian Input Variable Selection Using Cross-Validation Predictive Densities and Reversible Jump MCMC
We consider the problem of input variable selection of a Bayesian model. With suitable priors it is possible to have a large number of input variables in Bayesian models, as less relevant inputs can have a smaller effect in the model. To make the model more explainable and easier to analyse, or to reduce the cost of making measurements or the cost of computation, it may be useful to select a sm...
متن کاملOn the Effect of Prior Assumptions in Bayesian Model Averaging with Applications to Growth Regression
We consider the problem of variable selection in linear regression models. Bayesian model averaging has become an important tool in empirical settings with large numbers of potential regressors and relatively limited numbers of observations. We examine the effect of a variety of prior assumptions on the inference concerning model size, posterior inclusion probabilities of regressors and on pred...
متن کاملStatic and Dynamic Speci cation Slicing
A speci cation slice is a projection of a formal speci cation, which is simpler and potentially more comprehensible than the original speci cation. A static speci cation slice contains speci cations that might restrict the value of a variable. A dynamic speci cation slice consists of speci cations that actually a ect the value of a variable along the sequence of operations performed. Dynamic sp...
