Generalized Additive Models with Unknown Link Function Including Variable Selection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The generalized additive model is a well established and strong tool that allows to model smooth effects of predictors on the response. However, if the link function, which is typically chosen as the canonical link, is misspecified, substantial bias is ...

Generalized extreme value regression for binary response data: An application to B2B electronic payments system adoption

open access: yes, 2011
In the information system research, a question of particular interest is to interpret and to predict the probability of a firm to adopt a new technology such that market promotions are targeted to only those firms that were more likely to adopt the ...

Ordinal Ridge Regression with Categorical Predictors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In multi-category response models categories are often ordered. In case of ordinal response models, the usual likelihood approach becomes unstable with ill-conditioned predictor space or when the number of parameters to be estimated is large relative to ...

Spatial smoothing in Bayesian models: a comparison of weights matrix specifications and their impact on inference

open access: yesInternational Journal of Health Geographics, 2017
Background When analysing spatial data, it is important to account for spatial autocorrelation. In Bayesian statistics, spatial autocorrelation is commonly modelled by the intrinsic conditional autoregressive prior distribution.

Bayesian models for the determination of resonant frequencies in a DI diesel engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A time series method for the determination of combustion chamber resonant frequencies is outlined. This technique employs the use of Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to infer parameters in a chosen model of the data.

Explore poverty with statistical modeling: The bivariate polynomial binary logit regression (BPBLR)

open access: yesMethodsX
Logit regression (or logistic regression) is a statistical analysis of categorical data. The binary responses have two categories. We present the Bivariate Polynomial Binary Logit Regression (BPBLR), which extends logit regression by modeling two ...
