多项 Logistic 与计数回归的对数线性贝叶斯加性回归树AI 解读

We introduce Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) for log-linear models including multinomial logistic regression and count regression with zero-inflation and overdispersion. BART has been applied to nonparametric mean regression and binary classification problems in a range of settings. However, existing applications of BART have been mostly limited to models for Gaussian “data,” either observed or latent. This is primarily because efficient MCMC algorithms are…

通过具有局部依赖的贝叶斯混合模型多重插补分类与连续缺失值AI 解读

We present a nonparametric Bayesian joint model for multivariate continuous and categorical variables, with the intention of developing a flexible engine for multiple imputation of missing values. The model fuses Dirichlet process mixtures of multinomial distributions for categorical variables with Dirichlet process mixtures of multivariate normal distributions for continuous variables. We incorporate dependence between the continuous and categorical variables by (1)…

推断会计违规发生率的贝叶斯部分识别方法AI 解读

This article describes the use of flexible Bayesian regression models for estimating a partially identified probability function. Our approach permits efficient sensitivity analysis concerning the posterior impact of priors on the partially identified component of the regression model. The new methodology is illustrated on an important problem where only partially observed data are available—inferring the prevalence of accounting misconduct among publicly traded U.S.…

混合数据的贝叶斯高斯 Copula 因子模型AI 解读

Gaussian factor models have proven widely useful for parsimoniously characterizing dependence in multivariate data. There is a rich literature on their extension to mixed categorical and continuous variables, using latent Gaussian variables or through generalized latent trait models acommodating measurements in the exponential family. However, when generalizing to non-Gaussian measured variables the latent variables typically influence both the dependence structure and the…
