Gibbs Sampling for a Bayesian Hierarchical General Linear Model
We consider two-component block Gibbs sampling for a Bayesian hierarchical version of the normal theory general linear model. This model is practically relevant in the sense that it is general enough to have many applications and in that it is not straightforward to sample directly from the corresponding posterior distribution. There are two possible orders in which to update the components of ...
متن کاملHierarchical Bayesian Nonparametric Models with Applications∗
Hierarchical modeling is a fundamental concept in Bayesian statistics. The basic idea is that parameters are endowed with distributions which may themselves introduce new parameters, and this construction recurses. A common motif in hierarchical modeling is that of the conditionally independent hierarchy, in which a set of parameters are coupled by making their distributions depend on a shared ...
متن کاملA Bayesian model selection method with applications
In this paper, we consider Bayesian model selection using the well-known Bayes factor. A method on the basis of path sampling for computing the ratio of two normalizing constants involved in the Bayes factor is proposed. The key idea is to construct a continuous path to link up the competing models, then the Bayes factor can be estimated e6ciently by means of grids in [0,1] and observations sim...
متن کاملBayesian Model Checking with Applications to Hierarchical Models 2 Full Prior Predictive Model Checking
In a Bayesian model with proper prior, all functions of the parameters and data are known. After observing the data, the joint prior speciication of data and parameters can be checked by comparing the posterior of any function of the parameters to its assumed prior. This paper gives checks for missing predictors, goodness-of-t, and over-diiuseness of the prior. The approach is illustrated in a ...
متن کاملBayesian Network Structure Inference with an Hierarchical Bayesian Model
Bayesian Networks (BNs) are applied to a wide range of applications. In the past few years great interest is dedicated to the problem of inferring the structure of BNs solely from the data. In this work we explore a probabilistic method which enables the inclusion of extra knowledge in the inference of BNs. We briefly present the theory of BNs and introduce our probabilistic model. We also pres...
