Bayesian Density Regression

چکیده
This article considers Bayesian methods for density regression, allowing a random probability distribution to change flexibly with multiple predictors. The conditional response distribution is expressed as a nonparametric mixture of regression models, with the mixture distribution changing with predictors. A class of weighted mixture of Dirichlet process (WMDP) priors is proposed for the uncountable collection of mixture distributions. It is shown that this specification results in a generalized Pólya urn scheme, which incorporates weights dependent on the distance between subjects’ predictor values. To allow local dependency in the mixture distributions, we propose a kernel-based weighting scheme. A Gibbs sampling algorithm is developed for posterior computation. The methods are illustrated using simulated data examples and an epidemiologic application.

The aim of current research is to assess of landslide susceptibility in the Khalkhal Township, southern Ardabil using an ensemble and new method namely Bayesian and logistic regression (BT-LR) models. At first, landslide inventory map was prepared and then effective factors on landslide occurrence were identified. These factors are slope degree, plan curvature, slope aspect, elevation, landuse,...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملBayesian bandwidth estimation for a nonparametric functional regression model with unknown error density
Error density estimation in a nonparametric functional regression model with functional predictor and scalar response is considered. The unknown error density is approximated by a mixture of Gaussian densities with means being the individual residuals, and variance as a constant parameter. This proposed mixture error density has a form of a kernel density estimator of residuals, where the regre...
متن کاملBayesian Quantile Regression Methods∗
This paper is a study of the application of Bayesian Exponentially Tilted Empirical Likelihood to inference about quantile regressions. In the case of simple quantiles we show the exact form for the likelihood implied by this method and compare it with the Bayesian bootstrap and with Jeffreys’ method. For regression quantiles we derive the asymptotic form of the posterior density. We also exami...

Genomic selection combines statistical methods with genomic data to predict genetic values for complex traits. The accuracy of prediction of genetic values in selected population has a great effect on the success of this selection method. Accuracy of genomic prediction is highly dependent on the statistical model used to estimate marker effects in reference population. Various factors such a...
متن کاملBayesian and Iterative Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the Coefficients in Logistic Regression Analysis with Linked Data
This paper considers logistic regression analysis with linked data. It is shown that, in logistic regression analysis with linked data, a finite mixture of Bernoulli distributions can be used for modeling the response variables. We proposed an iterative maximum likelihood estimator for the regression coefficients that takes the matching probabilities into account. Next, the Bayesian counterpart...
