Posterior simulation and Bayes factors in panel count data models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the problems of posterior simulation and model choice for Poisson panel data models with multiple random effects. Efficient algorithms based on Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for sampling the posterior distribution are developed. A new parameterization of the random effects and fixed effects is proposed and compared with a parameterization in common use, and computation of marginal likelihoods and Bayes factors via Chib’s (1995) method is also considered. The methods are illustrated with two real data applications involving large samples and multiple random effects. ( 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. JEL classification: C1; C4

Bayesian Quantile Regression with Adaptive Lasso Penalty for Dynamic Panel Data
Dynamic panel data models include the important part of medicine, social and economic studies. Existence of the lagged dependent variable as an explanatory variable is a sensible trait of these models. The estimation problem of these models arises from the correlation between the lagged depended variable and the current disturbance. Recently, quantile regression to analyze dynamic pa...
متن کاملBayesian Analysis of Multivariate Probit Models
This paper provides a uni ed simulation-based Bayesian and non-Bayesian analysis of correlated binary data using the multivariate probit model. The posterior distribution is simulated by Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, and maximum likelihood estimates are obtained by a Monte Carlo version of the E-M algorithm. Computation of Bayes factors from the simulation output is also considered. The met...
متن کاملImage Segmentation using Gaussian Mixture Model
Abstract: Stochastic models such as mixture models, graphical models, Markov random fields and hidden Markov models have key role in probabilistic data analysis. In this paper, we used Gaussian mixture model to the pixels of an image. The parameters of the model were estimated by EM-algorithm. In addition pixel labeling corresponded to each pixel of true image was made by Bayes rule. In fact,...

Genomic selection combines statistical methods with genomic data to predict genetic values for complex traits. The accuracy of prediction of genetic values in selected population has a great effect on the success of this selection method. Accuracy of genomic prediction is highly dependent on the statistical model used to estimate marker effects in reference population. Various factors such a...
