The motivation of this article is to improve inferences on the covariation in environmental exposures, motivated by data from a study of Toddlers Exposure to SVOCs in Indoor Environments (TESIE). The challenge is that the sample size is limited, so empirical covariance provides a poor estimate. In related applications, Bayesian factor models have been popular; these approaches express the covariance as low rank plus diagonal and can infer the number of factors adaptively. However, they have the disadvantage of shrinking towards a diagonal covariance, often under estimating important covariation patterns in the data. Alternatively, the dimensionality problem is addressed by collapsing the detailed exposure data within chemical classes, potentially obscuring important information. We apply a feature aware covariance regression extension of Bayesian factor analysis, which improves performance by including information from features summarizing properties of the different exposures. This approach enables shrinkage to more flexible covariance structures, reducing the over-shrinkage problem, as we illustrate in the TESIE data using various chemical features.
