Adaptive Bayesian Criteria in Variable Selection for Generalized Linear Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the problem of variable selection in generalized linear models, we develop various adaptive Bayesian criteria. Using a hierarchical mixture setup for model uncertainty, combined with an integrated Laplace approximation, we derive Empirical Bayes and Fully Bayes criteria that can be computed easily and quickly. The performance of these criteria is assessed via simulation and compared to other criteria such as AIC and BIC on normal, logistic and Poisson regression model classes. A Fully Bayes criterion based on a restricted region hyperprior seems to be the most promising. Finally, our criteria are illustrated and compared with competitors on a data example.

متن کاملAdaptive Monte Carlo for Bayesian Variable Selection in Regression Models
This article describes a method for efficient posterior simulation for Bayesian variable selection in Generalized Linear Models with many regressors but few observations. A proposal on model space is described which contains a tuneable parameter. An adaptive approach to choosing this tuning parameter is described which allows automatic, efficient computation in these models. The method is appli...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملBayesian projection approaches to variable selection in generalized linear models
A Bayesian approach to variable selection which is based on the expected Kullback–Leibler divergence between the full model and its projection onto a submodel has recently been suggested in the literature. For generalized linear models an extension of this idea is proposed by considering projections onto subspaces defined via some form of L1 constraint on the parameter in the full model. This l...
متن کاملUsing multivariate generalized linear latent variable models to measure the difference in event count for stranded marine animals
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The classification of marine animals as protected species makes data and information on them to be very important. Therefore, this led to the need to retrieve and understand the data on the event counts for stranded marine animals based on location emergence, number of individuals, behavior, and threats to their presence. Whales are g...
