Bayes Factors for Goodness of Fit Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the use of the generalized fractional Bayes factor for testing fit in multinomial models. This is a non-asymptotic method that can be used to quantify the evidence for or against a sub-model. We give expressions for the generalized fractional Bayes factor and we study its properties. In particular, we show that the generalized fractional Bayes factor has better properties than the fractional Bayes factor.

Bayesian Goodness-of-Fit Testing with Mixtures of Triangular Distributions
We consider the consistency of the Bayes factor in goodness of fit testing for a parametric family of densities against a nonparametric alternative. Sufficient conditions for consistency of the Bayes factor are determined and demonstrated with priors using certain mixtures of triangular densities.

متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Goodness of Fit Tests
We survey in some detail the rather small literature on Bayes nonparametric Testing. We mostly concentrate on Bayesian testing of goodness of fit to a parametric null with nonparametric alternatives. We also survey briefly some related unpublished material. We discuss both methodology and posterior consistency.
متن کاملAn Updated Review of Goodness of Fit Tests Based on Entropy
Different approaches to goodness of fit (GOF) testing are proposed. This survey intends to present the developments on Goodness of Fit based on entropy during the last 50 years, from the very first origins until the most recent advances for different data and models. Goodness of fit tests based on Shannon entropy was started by Vasicek in 1976 and were continued by many authors. In this paper, ...

متن کاملA Measure of the Goodness of Fit in Unbinned Likelihood Fits
Abstract Maximum likelihood fits to data can be done using binned data (histograms) and unbinned data. With binned data, one gets not only the fitted parameters but also a measure of the goodness of fit. With unbinned data, currently, the fitted parameters are obtained but no measure of goodness of fit is available. This remains, to date, an unsolved problem in statistics. Using Bayes theorem a...
