FBST: Compositionality
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the relationship between the credibility of a complex hypothesis, H, and those of its constituent elementary hypotheses, H j, j = 1 . . .k, is analyzed, in the independent setup, under the Full Bayesian Significance Testing (FBST) mathematical apparatus.

FBST Regularization and Model Selection
We show how the Full Bayesian Signi cance Test (FBST) can be used as a model selection criterion. The FBST was presented by Pereira and Stern [3842] as a coherent Bayesian signi cance test.
متن کاملFbst for Mixture Model Selection
The Fully Bayesian Significance Test (FBST) is a coherent Bayesian significance test for sharp hypotheses. The computation of the evidence measure used on the FBST is performed in two steps: 1) The optimization step consists of finding f∗, the maximum (supremum) of the posterior under the null hypothesis. 2) The integration step consists of integrating the posterior density over the Tangential ...
متن کاملFBST for Generalized Poisson Distribution
The Generalized Poisson Distribution (GPD) adds an extra parameter to the usual Poisson distribution. This parameter induces a loss of homogeneity in the stochastic processes modeled by the distribution. Thus, the generalized distribution becomes an useful model for counting processes where the occurrence of events is not homogeneous. This model creates the need for an inferential procedure, to...
متن کاملBayesian evidence test for precise hypotheses
The full Bayesian signi/cance test (FBST) for precise hypotheses is presented, with some illustrative applications. In the FBST we compute the evidence against the precise hypothesis. We discuss some of the theoretical properties of the FBST, and provide an invariant formulation for coordinate transformations, provided a reference density has been established. This evidence is the probability o...
متن کاملTesting Significance in Bayesian Classifiers
The Fully Bayesian Significance Test (FBST) is a coherent Bayesian significance test for sharp hypotheses. This paper explores the FBST as a model selection tool for general mixture models, and gives some computational experiments for Multinomial-Dirichlet-Normal-Wishart models.
