大模型空间中贝叶斯变量选择的采样策略AI 解读

One important aspect of Bayesian model selection is how to deal with huge model spaces, since the exhaustive enumeration of all the models entertained is not feasible and inferences have to be based on the very small proportion of models visited. This is the case for the variable selection problem with a moderately large number of possible explanatory variables considered in this article. We review some of the strategies proposed in the literature, from a theoretical point…

In objective Bayesian model selection, no single criterion has emerged as dominant in defining objective prior distributions. Indeed, many criteria have been separately proposed and utilized to propose differing prior choices. We first formalize the most general and compelling of the various criteria that have been suggested, together with a new criterion. We then illustrate the potential of these criteria in determining objective model selection priors by considering their…

贝叶斯假设检验中基于 Jeffreys 散度的先验推广AI 解读

Summary We introduce objective proper prior distributions for hypothesis testing and model selection based on measures of divergence between the competing models; we call them divergence-based (DB) priors. DB priors have simple forms and desirable properties like information (finite sample) consistency and are often similar to other existing proposals like intrinsic priors. Moreover, in normal linear model scenarios, they reproduce the Jeffreys–Zellner–Siow priors exactly.…
