Data Augmentation in the Bayesian Multivariate Probit Model [PDF]
, 2004 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.

Sensitivity analysis of the variable demand probit stochastic user equilibrium with multiple user classes [PDF]
, 2007 This paper presents a formulation of the multiple user class, variable demand, probit stochastic user equilibrium model. Sufficient conditions are stated for differentiability of the equilibrium flows of this model.

Sampling the Variance-Covariance Matrix in the Bayesian Multivariate Probit Model [PDF]
, 2003 This paper is concerned with the Bayesian estimation of a Multivariate Probit model. In particular, this paper provides a method to sample the restricted variancecovariance matrix directly from its conditional posterior density.

Empirical and Simulated Adjustments of Composite Likelihood Ratio Statistics [PDF]
, 2013 Composite likelihood inference has gained much popularity thanks to its computational manageability and its theoretical properties. Unfortunately, performing composite likelihood ratio tests is inconvenient because of their awkward asymptotic ...

On the Use of Cauchy Prior Distributions for Bayesian Logistic Regression [PDF]
, 2017 In logistic regression, separation occurs when a linear combination of the predictors can perfectly classify part or all of the observations in the sample, and as a result, finite maximum likelihood estimates of the regression coefficients do not exist ...

Variational Bayesian multinomial probit regression with Gaussian process priors [PDF]
, 2005 It is well known in the statistics literature that augmenting binary and polychotomous response models with Gaussian latent variables enables exact Bayesian analysis via Gibbs sampling from the parameter posterior.
