Why Bayes Rules: A Note on Bayesian vs. Classical Inference in Regime Switching Models
نویسنده
چکیده
By means of a very simple example, this note illustrates the appeal of using Bayesian rather than classical methods to produce inference on hidden states in models of Markovian regime switching. JEL Classification: C11, C22.

Bayesian Markov Regime-Switching Models for Cointegration
This paper introduces a Bayesian Markov regime-switching model that allows the cointegration relationship between two time series to be switched on and off over time. Unlike classical approaches for testing and modeling cointegration, the Bayesian Markov switching method allows for estimation of the regime-specific model parameters via Markov Chain Monte Carlo and generates more reliable estima...
متن کاملComparison of two QTL mapping approaches based on Bayesian inference using high-dense SNPs markers
To compare different QTL mapping methods, a population with genotypic and phenotypic data was simulated. In Bayesian approach, all information of markers can be used along with combination of distributions of SNP markers. It is assumed that most of the markers (95%) have minor effects and a few numbers of markers (5%) exert major effects. The simulated population included a basic population of ...
متن کاملThe Family of Scale-Mixture of Skew-Normal Distributions and Its Application in Bayesian Nonlinear Regression Models
In previous studies on fitting non-linear regression models with the symmetric structure the normality is usually assumed in the analysis of data. This choice may be inappropriate when the distribution of residual terms is asymmetric. Recently, the family of scale-mixture of skew-normal distributions is the main concern of many researchers. This family includes several skewed and heavy-tailed d...
متن کاملInference for the Proportional Hazards Family under Progressive Type-II Censoring
In this paper, the well-known proportional hazards model which includes several well-known lifetime distributions such as exponential,Pareto, Lomax, Burr type XII, and so on is considered. With both Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches , we consider the estimation of parameters of interest based on progressively Type-II right censored samples. The Bayes estimates are obtained based on symmetric...
متن کاملOn the Suboptimality of the Generalized Bayes Rule and Robust Bayesian Procedures from the Decision Theoretic Point of View --- a Cautionary Note on Updating Imprecise Priors
This paper discusses fundamental aspects of inference with imprecise probabilities from the decision theoretic point of view. It is shown why the equivalence of prior risk and posterior loss, well known from classical Bayesian statistics, is no longer valid under imprecise priors. As a consequence, straightforward updating, as suggested by Walley’s Generalized Bayes Rule or as usually done in t...
