Bayesian Predictive Simultaneous Variable and Transformation Selection in the Linear Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Variable selection and transformation selection are two commonly encountered problems in the linear model. It is often of interest to combine these two procedures in an analysis. Due to recent developments in computing technology, such a procedure is now feasible. In this paper, we propose two variable and transformation selection procedures on the predictor variables in the linear model. The rst procedure is a simultaneous variable and transformation selection procedure. For data sets with many predictors, a backward elimination procedure for variables and transformations is also presented. The procedures are based on Bayesian model selection criteria introduced by Ibrahim and Laud (1994) and Laud and Ibrahim (1995). Several examples are given to illustrate the methodology.

Inflation Behavior in Top Sukuk Issuing Countries: Using a Bayesian Log-linear Model
This paper focused on developing a model to study the effect of sukuk issuance on the inflation rate in top sukuk issuing Islamic economies at 2014. For this purpose, as the available sample size is small, a Bayesian approach to regression model is used which contains key supply and demand side factors in addition to the outstanding sukuk volume as potential determinants of inflation rate...
متن کاملA method for simultaneous variable selection and outlier identification in linear regression*
We suggest a method for simultaneous variable selection and outlier identification based on the computation of posterior model probabilities. This avoids the problem that the model you select depends upon the order in which variable selection and outlier identification are carried out. Our method can find multiple outliers and appears to be successful in identifying masked outliers. We also add...
متن کاملPredictive Model Selection
We consider the problem of selecting one model from a large class of plausible models. A predictive Bayesian viewpoint is advocated to avoid the speci cation of prior probabilities for the candidate models and the detailed interpretation of the parameters in each model. Using criteria derived from a certain predictive density and a prior speci cation that emphasizes the observables, we implemen...
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...

This paper address the problem of Bayesian estimation of the parameters, reliability and hazard function in the context of record statistics values from the two-parameter Lomax distribution. The ML and the Bayes estimates based on records are derived for the two unknown parameters and the survival time parameters, reliability and hazard functions. The Bayes estimates are obtained based on conju...
