Calibration and empirical Bayes variable selection
校准与经验贝叶斯变量选择
For the problem of variable selection for the normal linear model, selection criteria such as aic, Cp , bic and ric have fixed dimensionality penalties. Such criteria are shown to correspond to selection of maximum posterior models under implicit hyperparameter choices for a particular hierarchical Bayes formulation. Based on this calibration, we propose empirical Bayes selection criteria that use hyperparameter estimates instead of fixed choices. For obtaining these…
