Analysis of multivariate probit models BY SIDDHARTHA CHIB
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides a practical 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 EM algorithm. A practical approach for the computation of Bayes factors from the simulation output is also developed. The methods are applied to a dataset with a bivariate binary response, to a four-year longitudinal dataset from the Six Cities study of the health effects of air pollution and to a sevenvariate binary response dataset on the labour supply of married women from the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics.

Bayesian 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...

is equivalent to probit, logit, and related models. However, the formulation that assumes latent variable Zi is allowing Gibbs sampling scheme (eg., Chib and Albert 1993) and Johnson and Albert (1999)). Successive sampling from full conditionals, (i) [β|Z, Y ] and (ii) [Z|β, Y ]. Assume that F is normal distribution and that the above model is probit. Then the distribution for β given Z is simp...
متن کاملDSGE MODELS WITH STUDENT-t ERRORS
This paper deals with Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models under a multivariate student-t distribution for the structural shocks. Based on the solution algorithm of Klein (2000) and the gamma-normal representation of the t -distribution, the TaRB-MH algorithm of Chib and Ramamurthy (2010) is used to estimate the model. A technique for estimating the marginal likelihood of the DS...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Monte Carlo Analysis of Correlated Count Data
This article is concerned with the analysis of correlated count data. A class of models is proposed in which the correlation among the counts is represented by correlated latent effects. Special cases of the model are discussed and a tuned and ef cient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is developed to estimate the model under both multivariate normal and multivariate-t assumptions on the late...
