Model comparison with composite likelihood information criteria
نویسنده
چکیده
Comparisons are made for the amount of agreement of the composite likelihood information criteria and their full likelihood counterparts when making decisions among the fits of different models, and some properties of penalty term for composite likelihood information criteria are obtained. Asymptotic theory is given for the case when a simpler model is nested within a bigger model, and the bigger model approaches the simpler model under a sequence of local alternatives. Composite likelihood can more or less frequently choose the bigger model, depending on the direction of local alternatives; in the former case, composite likelihood has more “power” to choose the bigger model. The behaviors of the information criteria are illustrated via theory and simulation examples of the Gaussian linear mixed-effects model.

Composite Likelihood Bayesian Information Criteria for Model Selection in High-Dimensional Data
For high-dimensional data sets with complicated dependency structures, the full likelihood approach often leads to intractable computational complexity. This imposes difficulty on model selection, given that most traditionally used information criteria require evaluation of the full likelihood. We propose a composite likelihood version of the Bayes information criterion (BIC) and establish its ...
متن کاملThe calibration of P-values, posterior Bayes factors and the AIC from the posterior distribution of the likelihood
The posterior distribution of the likelihood is used to interpret the evidential meaning of P-values, posterior Bayes factors and Akaike's information criterion when comparing point null hypotheses with composite alternatives. Asymptotic arguments lead to simple re-calibrations of these criteria in terms of posterior tail probabilities of the likelihood ratio. (`Prior') Bayes factors cannot be ...
متن کاملInformation Theoretic Feature Selection in Multi-label Data through Composite Likelihood
In this paper we present a framework to unify information theoretic feature selection criteria for multi-label data. Our framework combines two different ideas; expressing multi-label decomposition methods as composite likelihoods and then showing how feature selection criteria can be derived by maximizing these likelihood expressions. Many existing criteria, until now proposed as heuristics, c...

The increasing access to large social network data has generated substantial interest in the marketing community. However, due to its large scale, traditional analysis methods often become inadequate. In this paper, we propose a sequential sampling enhanced composite likelihood approach for efficient estimation of social intercorrelations in large-scale networks using the spatial model. The pro...
