Modeling Probabilities of Patent Oppositions in a Bayesian Semiparametric Regression Framework
Most econometric analyses of patent data rely on regression methods using a parametric form of the predictor for modeling the dependence of the response given certain covariates. These methods often lack the capability of identifying non-linear relationships between dependent and independent variables. We present an approach based on a generalized additive model in order to avoid these shortcom...
متن کاملPatent Oppositions
In recent years, patent protection has extended into new areas, giving rise to serious concern about the lack of clear guidelines for patentability. We analyze the effect of introducing a patent opposition process that would allow patent validity to be challenged directly after a patent is granted. In many cases, such a system would avoid costly litigation at a later date. In other cases, the o...
متن کاملBayesian semiparametric additive quantile regression
Quantile regression provides a convenient framework for analyzing the impact of covariates on the complete conditional distribution of a response variable instead of only the mean. While frequentist treatments of quantile regression are typically completely nonparametric, a Bayesian formulation relies on assuming the asymmetric Laplace distribution as auxiliary error distribution that yields po...
متن کاملApproaches for Semiparametric Bayesian Regression
Developing regression relationships is a primary inferential activity. We consider such relationships in the context of hierarchical models incorporating linear structure at each stage. Modern statistical work encourages less presump-tive, i.e., nonparametric speciications for at least a portion of the modeling. That is, we seek to enrich the class of standard parametric hierarchical models by ...
متن کاملSemiparametric Bayesian measurement error modeling
This work introduces a Bayesian semi-parametric approach for dealing with regression models where the covariate is measured with error. The main advantage of this extended Bayesian approach is the possibility of considering generalizations of the elliptical family of models by using Dirichlet process priors in the dependent and independent situations. Conditional posterior distributions are imp...
