Approximate Bayesian Model Selection with the Deviance Statistic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bayesian model selection poses two main challenges: the specification of parameter priors for all models, and the computation of the resulting Bayes factors between models.

Linear and logistic models for multiple-breed genetic analysis of heifer fertility in Mexican Simmental–Simbrah beef cattle

open access: yesJournal of Applied Animal Research, 2018
The aim of this study was to compare alternative models for the genetic evaluation of heifer fertility in Simmental–Simbrah cattle. The analyses were conducted using a database with 37,390 female birth information recorded from 1984 to 2007, and 59,018 ...

mplot: An R Package for Graphical Model Stability and Variable Selection Procedures

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2018
The mplot package provides an easy to use implementation of model stability and variable inclusion plots (Müller and Welsh 2010; Murray, Heritier, and Müller 2013) as well as the adaptive fence (Jiang, Rao, Gu, and Nguyen 2008; Jiang, Nguyen, and Rao ...

Cluster-Robust Variance Estimation for Dyadic Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Dyadic data are common in the social sciences, although inference for such settings involves accounting for a complex clustering structure. Many analyses in the social sciences fail to account for the fact that multiple dyads share a member, and that ...

Generalized Additive Mixed-Models for Pharmacology Using Integrated Discrete Multiple Organ Co-Culture. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Integrated Discrete Multiple Organ Co-culture (IDMOC) is emerging as an in-vitro alternative to in-vivo animal models for pharmacology studies. IDMOC allows dose-response relationships to be investigated at the tissue and organoid levels, yet, these ...

Identifying the factors that influence change in SEBD using logistic regression analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Multiple linear regression and ANOVA models are widely used in applications since they provide effective statistical tools for assessing the relationship between a continuous dependent variable and several predictors. However these models rely heavily on

Evidence Synthesis for Decision Making 2:A Generalized Linear Modeling Framework for Pairwise and Network Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We set out a generalized linear model framework for the synthesis of data from randomized controlled trials. A common model is described, taking the form of a linear regression for both fixed and random effects synthesis, which can be implemented with ...

Laplace Power-expected-posterior priors for generalized linear models with applications to logistic regression

open access: yes, 2021
Power-expected-posterior (PEP) methodology, which borrows ideas from the literature on power priors, expected-posterior priors and unit information priors, provides a systematic way to construct objective priors. The basic idea is to use imaginary training samples to update a noninformative prior into a minimally-informative prior.

Effects of Omitting Non-confounding Predictors From General Relative-Risk Models for Binary Outcomes

open access: yesJournal of Epidemiology, 2019
Background: The effects, in terms of bias and precision, of omitting non-confounding predictive covariates from generalized linear models have been well studied, and it is known that such omission results in attenuation bias but increased precision with ...
