BAS (version 0.4)

Bernoulli: Independent Bernoulli Prior Distribution for Models

Description

Creates an object representing the prior distribution on models for BAS.

Usage

Bernoulli(probs=.5)

Arguments

probs
a scalar or vector of prior inclusion probabilities. If a scalar, the values is replicated for all variables ans a 1 is added for the intercept. BAS checs to see if the length is equal to the dimension of the parameter vector for the full mo

Value

  • returns an object of class "prior", with the family and hyerparameters.

Details

The independent Bernoulli prior distribution is a commonly used prior in BMA, with the Uniform distribution a special case with probs=.5. If all indicator variables have a independent Bernoulli distributions with common probability probs, the distribution on model size binomial(p, probs) distribution.
