Bayesian evaluation of a semi-parametric binary response model
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we develop a Bayesian analysis of a semi-parametric binary choice model. The prior speciication of the functional parameter , namely the distribution function of a latent variable, is of the Dirichlet process type and the prior speciication of the Euclidean parameter , namely the coeecients of a linear combination of exogenous variables, is left arbitrary. The model identiication is ensured by x-ing the prior expectation of the functional parameter (see Mouchart et al. (1997)). Approximations for the posterior predictive distributions are obtained from two diierent sampling methods. Several questions are studied through an exploratory numerical analysis, such as the numerical convergence of the algorithms and of the methods and the general problem of contrasting semi-parametric and purely parametric speciication. more particularly from R. Cano and M. Steel. The help from J.M. Rolin went far beyond the border of friendly, vivid and fruitful discussions; the only limit is that he should in no way be taken as responsible for any remaining error.

Bayesian Identification of Semi-Parametric Binary Response Models
In this paper, minimal conditions under which a semi-parametric binary response model is identified in a Bayesian framework are presented and compared to the conditions usually required in a sampling theory framework. Running headline: Semi-parametric Binary Response Models.
متن کاملComparison of parametric and semi-parametric binary response models
A Bayesian semi-parametric estimation of the binary response model using Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms is proposed. The performances of the parametric and semi-parametric models are presented. The mean squared errors, receiver operating characteristic curve, and the marginal effect are used as the model selection criteria. Simulated data and Monte Carlo experiments show that unless the bi...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Bayesian Probit Regression of Binary and Polychotomous Response Data
The goal of this study is to introduce a statistical method regarding the analysis of specific latent data for regression analysis of the discrete data and to build a relation between a probit regression model (related to the discrete response) and normal linear regression model (related to the latent data of continuous response). This method provides precise inferences on binary and multinomia...
متن کاملSemi-parametric Quantile Regression for Analysing Continuous Longitudinal Responses
Recently, quantile regression (QR) models are often applied for longitudinal data analysis. When the distribution of responses seems to be skew and asymmetric due to outliers and heavy-tails, QR models may work suitably. In this paper, a semi-parametric quantile regression model is developed for analysing continuous longitudinal responses. The error term's distribution is assumed to be Asymmetr...

A transition binary logistic model with random coefficients is proposed to model the unemployment statues of household members in two seasons of spring and summer. Data correspond to the labor force survey performed by Statistical Center of Iran in 2006. This model is introduced to take into account two kinds of correlation in the data one due to the longitudinal nature o...
