Marginal likelihood estimation via power posteriors
Model choice plays an increasingly important role in Statistics. From a Bayesian perspective a crucial goal is to compute the marginal likelihood of the data for a given model. This however is typically a difficult task since it amounts to integrating over all model parameters. The aim of this paper is to illustrate how this may be achieved using ideas from thermodynamic integration or path sam...
متن کاملVariable Selection for Linear Transformation Models via Penalized Marginal Likelihood
We study the problem of variable selection for linear transformation models, a class of general semiparametric models for censored survival data. The penalized marginal likelihood methods with shrinkage-type penalties are proposed to automate variable selection in linear transformation models; we consider the LASSO penalty and propose a new penalty called the adaptive-LASSO (ALASSO). Unlike the...
متن کاملConditional Density Estimation by Penalized Likelihood Model Selection and Applications
In this technical report, we consider conditional density estimation with a maximum likelihood approach. Under weak assumptions, we obtain a theoretical bound for a KullbackLeibler type loss for a single model maximum likelihood estimate. We use a penalized model selection technique to select a best model within a collection. We give a general condition on penalty choice that leads to oracle ty...
متن کاملOn the Use of Marginal Likelihood in Model Selection
SUMMARY Based on the marginal likelihood approach, we develop a model selection criterion, MIC, for regression models with the general variance structure. These include weighted regression models, regression models with ARMA errors, growth curve models, and spatial correlation models. We show that MIC is a consistent criterion. For regression models with either constant or non-constant variance...
متن کاملPseudo-likelihood estimation for a marginal multivariate survival model.
In this paper, we propose a multivariate Plackett-Dale model for survival outcomes. A pseudo-likelihood method for the estimation of the parameters is proposed and these ideas are applied to two case studies. The modelling approach is similar in spirit but different from Parner's approach. The first study is in AIDS, where the overall survival time and different opportunistic infections in HIV-...
