A Bayesian information criterion for portfolio selection
The mean-variance theory of Markowitz (1952) indicates that large investment portfolios naturally provide better risk diversification than small ones. However, due to parameter estimation errors, one may find ambiguous results in practice. Hence, it is essential to identify relevant stocks to alleviate the impact of estimation error in portfolio selection. To this end, we propose a linkage cond...
متن کاملOptimal Models of Prosodic Prominence Using the Bayesian Information Criterion
This study investigated the relation between various acoustic features and prominence. Past research has suggested that duration, pitch, and intensity all play a role in the perception of prominence. In our past work, we found a correlation between these acoustic features and speaker agreement over the placement of prominence. The current study was motivated by a need to enrich our understandin...
متن کاملBayesian information criterion for censored survival models.
We investigate the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) for variable selection in models for censored survival data. Kass and Wasserman (1995, Journal of the American Statistical Association 90, 928-934) showed that BIC provides a close approximation to the Bayes factor when a unit-information prior on the parameter space is used. We propose a revision of the penalty term in BIC so that it is d...
متن کاملA Bayesian information criterion for singular models
We consider approximate Bayesian model choice for model selection problems that involve models whose Fisher-information matrices may fail to be invertible along other competing submodels. Such singular models do not obey the regularity conditions underlying the derivation of Schwarz’s Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and the penalty structure in BIC generally does not reflect the frequentis...
