Bayesian Analysis for Penalized Spline Regression Using WinBUGS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Penalized splines can be viewed as BLUPs in a mixed model framework, which allows the use of mixed model software for smoothing. Thus, software originally developed for Bayesian analysis of mixed models can be used for penalized spline regression. Bayesian inference for nonparametric models enjoys the flexibility of nonparametric models and the exact inference provided by the Bayesian inferential machinery. This paper provides a simple, yet comprehensive, set of programs for the implementation of nonparametric Bayesian analysis in WinBUGS.

Use of Two Smoothing Parameters in Penalized Spline Estimator for Bi-variate Predictor Non-parametric Regression Model
Penalized spline criteria involve the function of goodness of fit and penalty, which in the penalty function contains smoothing parameters. It serves to control the smoothness of the curve that works simultaneously with point knots and spline degree. The regression function with two predictors in the non-parametric model will have two different non-parametric regression functions. Therefore, we...
متن کاملAnalysis of Mortality Data using Smoothing Spline Poisson Regression
We study a smoothing spline Poisson regression model for the analysis of mortality data. Being a non-parametric approach it is intrinsically robust, that it is a penalized likelihood estimation method makes available an approximate Bayesian confidence interval and importantly the software gss, its implementation on the freely available statistical package R, makes it easily accessible to the us...
متن کاملEstimation of the Piecewise Exponential Model by Bayesian P-Splines via Gibbs Sampling: Robustness and Reliability of Posterior Estimates
In the investigation of disease dynamics, the effect of covariates on the hazard function is a major topic. Some recent smoothed estimation methods have been proposed, both frequentist and Bayesian, based on the relationship between penalized splines and mixed models theory. These approaches are also motivated by the possibility of using automatic procedures for determining the optimal amount o...
متن کاملSpatially Adaptive Bayesian Penalized Regression Splines (P-splines)
In this paper we study penalized regression splines (P-splines), which are low–order basis splines with a penalty to avoid undersmoothing. Such P–splines are typically not spatially adaptive, and hence can have trouble when functions are varying rapidly. Our approach is to model the penalty parameter inherent in the P–spline method as a heteroscedastic regression function. We develop a full Bay...
متن کاملPenalized additive regression for space-time data: a Bayesian perspective
We propose extensions of penalized spline generalized additive models for analysing space-time regression data and study them from a Bayesian perspective. Non-linear effects of continuous covariates and time trends are modelled through Bayesian versions of penalized splines, while correlated spatial effects follow a Markov random field prior. This allows to treat all functions and effects withi...
