Posterior Propriety and Admissibility of Hyperpriors in Normal Hierarchical Models
Hierarchical modeling is wonderful and here to stay, but hyperparameter priors are often chosen in a casual fashion. Unfortunately, as the number of hyperparameters grows, the effects of casual choices can multiply, leading to considerably inferior performance. As an extreme, but not uncommon, example use of the wrong hyperparameter priors can even lead to impropriety of the posterior. For exch...
متن کاملPropriety of posterior distributions arising in categorical and survival models under generalized extreme value distribution
This paper introduces a flexible skewed link function for modeling binary as well as ordinal data with covariates based on the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution. Extreme value techniques have been widely used in many disciplines relating to risk analysis. However, its application in the binary and ordinal data from a Bayesian context is sparse and its strength as a link function has ...
متن کاملPosterior propriety for Bayesian binomial regression models with a parametric family of link functions
We consider a Bayesian analysis of Binomial response data with covariates. To describe the problem under investigation, suppose we have n independent binomial observations Y1, . . . , Yn where Yi ∼ Bin(mi, θi) and let xi be p-dimensional covariate vector associated with Yi for i = 1, . . . , n. Binomial observations can be analyzed through a generalized linear model (GLM) where we assume θi = F...
متن کاملIntroducing a Non-Dichotomous Method for Scoring Selected-Response Tests
The main purpose of this study was to introduce a new non-dichotomous scoring procedure for the multiple-choice test method, called Parledge. The research also aimed to determine Parledge characteristics through a psychometric study comparing it with the “Number Correct” and “Correction for Guessing” scoring methods. There were 35 students participating in the study who were given a vocabulary ...
متن کاملQuantal-response equilibrium models of the ultimatum bargaining game
This paper investigates the implications of normaland extensive-form quantal response equilibrium (QRE) models (McKelvey and Palfrey, 1995, Games and Economic Behavior; 1998, Experimental Economics) in the ultimatum bargaining game, assuming that players maximize expected monetary payo ̄ s. It is shown that normal-form QRE can select a non-sequential equilibrium, and that the selection depends c...
