Bayesian networks with a logistic regression model for the conditional probabilities
Logistic regression techniques can be used to restrict the conditional probabilities of a Bayesian network for discrete variables. More specifically, each variable of the network can be modeled through a logistic regression model, in which the parents of the variable define the covariates. When all main effects and interactions between the parent variables are incorporated as covariates, the co...
متن کاملDetermining the Conditional Probabilities in Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks are used to illustrate how the probability of having a disease can be updated given the results from clinical tests. The problem of diagnosis, that is of determining whether a certain disease is present, D, or absent, D, based on the result of a medical test, is discussed. Using statistical methods for medical diagnosis, information about the disease and symptoms are collected...
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...
متن کاملBayesian model selection for logistic regression models with random intercept
Data, collected to model risk of an interesting event, often have a multilevel structure as patients are clustered within larger units, e.g. clinical centers. Risk of the event is usually modeled using a logistic regression model, with a random intercept to control for heterogeneity among clusters. Model specification requires to decide which regressors have a non-negligible effect, and hence, ...
متن کاملSensitivities: An Alternative to Conditional Probabilities for Bayesian Belief Networks
We show an alternative way of represent ing a Bayesian belief network by sensitivities and probability distributions. This represen tation is equivalent to the traditional rep resentation by conditional probabilities, but makes dependencies between nodes apparent and intuitively easy to understand. We also propose a QR matrix representation for the sensitivities and/ or conditional probabili...
