Evaluating Manifest Monotonicity Using Bayes Factors
The assumption of latent monotonicity in item response theory models for dichotomous data cannot be evaluated directly, but observable consequences such as manifest monotonicity facilitate the assessment of latent monotonicity in real data. Standard methods for evaluating manifest monotonicity typically produce a test statistic that is geared toward falsification, which can only provide indirec...
متن کاملWeak monotonicity and Bayes-Nash incentive compatibility
An allocation rule is called Bayes-Nash incentive compatible, if there exists a payment rule, such that truthful reports of agents’ types form a Bayes-Nash equilibrium in the direct revelation mechanism consisting of the allocation rule and the payment rule. This paper provides a characterization of Bayes-Nash incentive compatible allocation rules in social choice settings where agents have mul...
متن کاملComputing Bayes factors using thermodynamic integration.
In the Bayesian paradigm, a common method for comparing two models is to compute the Bayes factor, defined as the ratio of their respective marginal likelihoods. In recent phylogenetic works, the numerical evaluation of marginal likelihoods has often been performed using the harmonic mean estimation procedure. In the present article, we propose to employ another method, based on an analogy with...
متن کاملOptimal Track Fusion Using Bayes Factors
In deciding whether to associate and fuse a group of tracks sent from independent local trackers, use should be made of all the data supporting them during theircommon history. This paper provides a closed form expression for the relevant Bayes factor, which is the ratio of the probability that the tracks are caused by a single target to the probability that they are each caused by a different ...
متن کاملTesting for Cointegration Rank Using Bayes Factors
This paper proposes Bayesian methods for estimating the cointegration rank using Bayes factors. We consider natural conjugate priors for computing Bayes factors. First, we estimate the cointegrating vectors for each possible rank. Then, we compute the Bayes factors for each rank against 0 rank. Monte Carlo simulations show that using Bayes factor with conjugate priors produces fairly good resul...
