Fractional Bayes Factor Using
نویسنده
چکیده
A computing method of fractional Bayes factor (FBF) for a point null hypothesis is explained. We propose alternative form of FBF that is the product of density ratio and a quantity using the generalized Savage-Dickey density ratio method. When it is diicult to compute the alternative form of FBF analytically, each term of the proposed form can be estimated by MCMC method. Finally, two examples are given.

Bayes Factors for Goodness of Fit Testing
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 fr...
متن کاملBayesian Analysis of Autoregressive Time Series with Change Points
The paper deals with the identification of a stationary autoregressive model for a time series and the contemporary detection of a change in its mean. We adopt the Bayesian approch with weak prior information about the parameters of the models under comparison and an exact form of the likelihood function. When necessary, we resort to fractional Bayes factor to choose between models, and to impo...
متن کاملEMPIRICAL BAYES ANALYSIS OF TWO-FACTOR EXPERIMENTS UNDER INVERSE GAUSSIAN MODEL
A two-factor experiment with interaction between factors wherein observations follow an Inverse Gaussian model is considered. Analysis of the experiment is approached via an empirical Bayes procedure. The conjugate family of prior distributions is considered. Bayes and empirical Bayes estimators are derived. Application of the procedure is illustrated on a data set, which has previously been an...
متن کاملLearning Markov Equivalence Classes of Directed Acyclic Graphs: an Objective Bayes Approach
A Markov equivalence class contains all the Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) encoding the same conditional independencies, and is represented by a Completed Partially Directed DAG (CPDAG), also named Essential Graph (EG). We approach the problem of model selection among noncausal sparse Gaussian DAGs by directly scoring EGs, using an objective Bayes method. Specifically, we construct objective pr...
متن کاملObjective Bayes Factors for Gaussian Directed Acyclic Graphical Models
We propose an objective Bayesian method for the comparison of all Gaussian directed acyclic graphical models defined on a given set of variables. The method, which is based on the notion of fractional Bayes factor, requires a single default (typically improper) prior on the space of unconstrained covariance matrices, together with a prior sample size hyper-parameter, which can be set to its min...
