Jeffreys-prior penalty, finiteness and shrinkage in binomial-response generalized linear models
二项响应广义线性模型中的 Jeffreys 先验惩罚、有限性与收缩
Summary Penalization of the likelihood by Jeffreys’ invariant prior, or a positive power thereof, is shown to produce finite-valued maximum penalized likelihood estimates in a broad class of binomial generalized linear models. The class of models includes logistic regression, where the Jeffreys-prior penalty is known additionally to reduce the asymptotic bias of the maximum likelihood estimator, and models with other commonly used link functions, such as probit and log-log.…
