Bayesian Model Choice using Coupled ABC
In Neal (2010), a novel Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) algorithm, coupled ABC, was introduced. This paper shows how coupled ABC can be used in an efficient manner for model choice in a Bayesian framework. The methodology is applied to Gibbs random fields and stochastic epidemic models. Furthermore a very efficient simulation procedure for Gibbs random fields with a given sufficient summ...
متن کاملComputational methods for Bayesian model choice
In this note, we shortly survey some recent approaches on the approximation of the Bayes factor used in Bayesian hypothesis testing and in Bayesian model choice. In particular, we reassess importance sampling, harmonic mean sampling, and nested sampling from a unified perspective.
متن کاملABC methods for model choice in Gibbs random fields
Gibbs random fields are polymorphous statistical models that can be used to analyse different types of dependence, in particular for spatially correlated data. However, when those models are faced with the challenge of selecting a dependence structure from many, the use of standard model choice methods is hampered by the unavailability of the normalising constant in the Gibbs likelihood. In par...
متن کاملWhy approximate Bayesian computational (ABC) methods cannot handle model choice problems
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC), also known as likelihood-free methods, have become a favourite tool for the analysis of complex stochastic models, primarily in population genetics but also in financial analyses. We advocated in Grelaud et al. (2009) the use of ABC for Bayesian model choice in the specific case of Gibbs random fields (GRF), relying on a sufficiency property mainly enjoye...
متن کاملBayesian Logistic Regression Model Choice via Laplace-Metropolis Algorithm
Following a Bayesian statistical inference paradigm, we provide an alternative methodology for analyzing a multivariate logistic regression. We use a multivariate normal prior in the Bayesian analysis. We present a unique Bayes estimator associated with a prior which is admissible. The Bayes estimators of the coefficients of the model are obtained via MCMC methods. The proposed procedure...
