This article describes a method for efficient posterior simulation for Bayesian variable selection in Generalized Linear Models with many regressors but few observations. A proposal on model space is described which contains a tuneable parameter. An adaptive approach to choosing this tuning parameter is described which allows automatic, efficient computation in these models. The method is appli...

The groundnut plant has the ability to survive in areas of low rainfall because it is a legume and it increases soil fertility by fixing nitrogen in the soil. The study area is known by erratic and uneven rainfall while groundnut is the main cash crop in the area. The study identified the groundnut market outlets, factor affecting groundnut market outlet choice and identifies farm level women r...

177 mental psychology wlherein deduced concepts and inductions from clinical observation are to be coml)ined in a comprehensive frame of reference within which psyclhological pheenomena in lhumans are to be understood. When a responise mlade by a living organism to a stimtultus must fall inlto one or the other of two mutually exclusive classes, it is knowvn as a quantal or all-or-nothing respon...

This paper presents a semi-nonparametric estimator for a series of generalized models that nest the Ordered Probit model and thereby relax the distributional assumptions in that model. It describes a new Stata command for the estimation of such models and presents an illustration of the approach.

Background: The PROBIT methodology was presented in the 1995 World Health Organization Technical Report on Anthropometry as an alternative to the standard prevalence based method of measuring malnutrition in children. Theoretically the PROBIT method will always give a smaller standard error than the standard prevalence method in measuring malnutrition. A recent article by Dale et al. assessed t...
