Power-Expected-Posterior Priors for Variable Selection in Gaussian Linear Models
Imaginary training samples are often used in Bayesian statistics to develop prior distributions, with appealing interpretations, for use in model comparison. Expected-posterior priors are defined via imaginary training samples coming from a common underlying predictive distribution m, using an initial baseline prior distribution. These priors can have subjective and also default Bayesian implem...
متن کاملExpected Posterior Priors in Factor Analysis
Bayesian inference in factor analytic models has received renewed attention in recent years, partly due to computational advances but also partly to applied focuses generating factor structures as exemplified by recent work in financial time series modeling. The focus of our current work is to investigate the commonly overlooked problem of prior specification and sensitivity in factor models. W...
متن کاملComputation for intrinsic variable selection in normal regression models via expected-posterior prior
In this paper we focus on the variable selection problem in normal regression models, using the expected-posterior prior methodology. We provide a straightforward MCMC scheme for the derivation of the posterior distribution, as well as Monte Carlo estimates for the computation of the marginal likelihood and posterior model probabilities. Additionally, for large model spaces, a model search algo...
متن کاملBayesian model comparison based on expected posterior priors for discrete decomposable graphical models
The implementation of the Bayesian paradigm to model comparison can be problematic. In particular, prior distributions on the parameter space of each candidate model require special care. While it is well known that improper priors cannot be used routinely for Bayesian model comparison, we claim that in general the use of conventional priors (proper or improper) for model comparison should be r...
متن کاملPosterior Consistency in Nonparametric Regression Problems under Gaussian Process Priors
Posterior consistency can be thought of as a theoretical justification of the Bayesian method. One of the most popular approaches to nonparametric Bayesian regression is to put a nonparametric prior distribution on the unknown regression function using Gaussian processes. In this paper, we study posterior consistency in nonparametric regression problems using Gaussian process priors. We use an ...
