Bayesian Nonparametric Goodness of Fit Tests
We survey in some detail the rather small literature on Bayes nonparametric Testing. We mostly concentrate on Bayesian testing of goodness of fit to a parametric null with nonparametric alternatives. We also survey briefly some related unpublished material. We discuss both methodology and posterior consistency.
متن کاملSpectral goodness of fit for network models
We introduce a new statistic, ’spectral goodness of fit’ (SGOF) to measure how well a network model explains the structure of an observed network. SGOF provides an absolute measure of fit, analogous to the standard R2 in linear regression. Additionally, as it takes advantage of the properties of the spectrum of the graph Laplacian, it is suitable for comparing network models of diverse function...
متن کاملA Bayesian 2 test for goodness-of-fit
This article describes an extension of classical χ goodness-of-fit tests to Bayesian model assessment. The extension, which essentially involves evaluating Pearson’s goodness-of-fit statistic at a parameter value drawn from its posterior distribution, has the important property that it is asymptotically distributed as a χ random variable on K − 1 degrees of freedom, independently of the dimensi...
متن کاملBayesian Tests for Goodness of Fit Using Tail Area Probabilities*
Classical goodness of fit tests, including exact permutation tests, are well-defined and calculable only if the test statistic is a pivotal quantity. Examples of problems where the classical approach fails include models with constraints, Bayesian models with strong prior distributions, hierarchical models, and missing data problems. Using posterior predictive distributions, we systematically e...
متن کاملGoodness of Fit of Social Network Models
We present a systematic examination of real network datasets using maximum likelihood estimation for exponential random graph models as well as new procedures to evaluate how well the models fit the observed graphs. These procedures compare structural statistics of the observed graph with the corresponding statistics on graphs simulated from the fitted model. We apply this approach to the study...
