We will eventually discuss robust regression and hierarchical linear models, a powerful modelling technique made tractable by rapid MCMC implementations. From a quantitative finance point of view we will also take a look at a stochastic volatility model using PyMC and see how we can use this model...
(this is when you use bayes theorem, see here for more detailed description). the basic logistic regression model can be extended to model the dependency between the predictors using a hierarchical model (including hyperpriors ). in this case you can draw β i β i 's from multivariate norm...
Thus, the Bayesian multiple logistic regression models we run in this study have a hierarchical structure that helps overcome the impact of the interrelationship patterns on the model. Furthermore, since we consider the use of informative prior distributions, we mitigate the impact of the interrelatio...
This work introduces a novel methodology based on finite mixtures of Student-t distributions to model the errors' distribution in linear regression models. The novelty lies on a particular hierarchical structure for the mixture distribution in which the first level models the number of modes, ...
Such models are called hierarchical Bayesian models. For MLR, prior distributions are typically denoted as π(β) and π(σ2). A popular choice is the normal-inverse-gamma conjugate model, in which π(β|σ2) is the multivariate Gaussian or multivariate normal distribution and π(σ2) is ...
Our model is based on a likelihood corresponding to the Vapnick’s ϵ-insensitive (Vapnik, 1995) multivariate loss function. We assume that our non-linear regression function belongs to a broader class of function space known as reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS). Following the RKHS ...

To complete the specification of this hierarchical prior, we must define hyperpriors over α, as well as over the final remaining parameter in the model, the noise variance σ2. These quantities are examples of scale parameters, and suitable priors for these are given by Gamma distributions (...
