Computing Minimum Description Length for Robust Linear Regression Model Selection

نویسنده

  • Guoqi Qian
چکیده

A minimum description length (MDL) and stochastic complexity approach for model selection in robust linear regression is studied in this paper. Computational aspects and implementation of this approach to practical problems are the focuses of the study. Particularly, we provide both algorithms and a package of S language programs for computing the stochastic complexity and proceeding with the associated model selection. A simulation study is then presented for illustration and comparing the MDL approach with the commonly used AIC and BIC methods. Finally, an application is given to a physiological study of triathlon athletes.

Robust Estimation in Linear Regression Model: the Density Power Divergence Approach

The minimum density power divergence method provides a robust estimate in the face of a situation where the dataset includes a number of outlier data. In this study, we introduce and use a robust minimum density power divergence estimator to estimate the parameters of the linear regression model and then with some numerical examples of linear regression model, we show the robustness of this est...

Analysis of a Problem Using Various Visions

 In this paper an applied problem, where the response of interest is the number of success in a specific experiment, is considered and by various visions is studied. The effects of outlier values of response on results of a regression analysis are so important to be studied. For this reason, using diagnostic methods, outlier response values are recognized. It is shown that use of arc-sine ...

Minimum Description Length Model Selection Criteria for Generalized Linear Models

This paper derives several model selection criteria for generalized linear models (GLMs) following the principle of Minimum Description Length (MDL). We focus our attention on the mixture form of MDL. Normal or normal-inverse gamma distributions are used to construct the mixtures, depending on whether or not we choose to account for possible over-dispersion in the data. For the latter, we use E...

On Different Model Selection Criteria In A Forward And Backward Regression Hybrid Network

An assessment of the performance hybrid network with different model selection criteria is considered. These criteria are used in an automatic model selection algorithm for constructing a hybrid network of radial and Perceptron hidden units for regression. A forward step builds the full hybrid network; A model selection criterion is used for controlling the network-size and another criterion is...

The Minimum Description Length Principle in Coding and Modeling

We review the principles of Minimum Description Length and Stochastic Complexity as used in data compression and statistical modeling. Stochastic complexity is formulated as the solution to optimum universal coding problems extending Shannon’s basic source coding theorem. The normalized maximized likelihood, mixture, and predictive codings are each shown to achieve the stochastic complexity to ...
