Data Augmentation in the Bayesian Multivariate Probit Model [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the Bayesian estimation of a Multivariate Probit model. In particular, this paper provides an algorithm that obtains draws with low correlation much faster than a pure Gibbs sampling algorithm. The algorithm consists in sampling some characteristics of slope and variance parameters marginally on the latent data. Estimations
