Using Bayesian Model Averaging to Calibrate Forecast Ensembles
Ensembles used for probabilistic weather forecasting often exhibit a spread-skill relationship, but they tend to be underdispersive. This paper proposes a principled statistical method for postprocessing ensembles based on Bayesian model averaging (BMA), which is a standard method for combining predictive distributions from different sources. The BMA predictive probability density function (PDF...
متن کاملPredicting waste generation using Bayesian model averaging
A prognosis model has been developed for solid waste generation from households in Hoi An City, a famous tourist city in Viet Nam. Waste sampling, followed by a questionnaire survey, was carried out to gather data. The Bayesian model average method was used to identify factors significantly associated with waste generation. Multivariate linear regression analysis was then applied to evaluate th...
متن کاملBayesian Model Averaging for Propensity Score Analysis.
This article considers Bayesian model averaging as a means of addressing uncertainty in the selection of variables in the propensity score equation. We investigate an approximate Bayesian model averaging approach based on the model-averaged propensity score estimates produced by the R package BMA but that ignores uncertainty in the propensity score. We also provide a fully Bayesian model averag...
متن کاملEfficient Bayesian Model Averaging in Factor Analysis
Although factor analytic models have proven useful for covariance structure modeling and dimensionality reduction in a wide variety of applications, a challenging problem is uncertainty in the number of latent factors. This article proposes an efficient Bayesian approach for model selection and averaging in hierarchical models having one or more factor analytic components. In particular, the ap...
متن کاملBayesian Model Averaging: A Tutorial
Standard statistical practice ignores model uncertainty. Data analysts typically select a model from some class of models and then proceed as if the selected model had generated the data. This approach ignores the uncertainty in model selection, leading to over-confident inferences and decisions that are more risky than one thinks they are. Bayesian model averaging (BMA) provides a coherent mec...
