Description for Bayesian Non- and Semi-parametric Methods and Applications
Hardback. Reviews and develops Bayesian non-parametric and semi-parametric methods for applications in microeconometrics and quantitative marketing. This book advocates a Bayesian approach in which specific distributional assumptions are replaced with more flexible distributions based on mixtures of normals. Series: The Econometric and Tinbergen Institutes Lectures. Num Pages: 224 pages, 66 line illus. BIC Classification: PBTB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 151 x 217 x 22. Weight in Grams: 412.
This book reviews and develops Bayesian non-parametric and semi-parametric methods for applications in microeconometrics and quantitative marketing. Most econometric models used in microeconomics and marketing applications involve arbitrary distributional assumptions. As more data becomes available, a natural desire to provide methods that relax these assumptions arises. Peter Rossi advocates a Bayesian approach in which specific distributional assumptions are replaced with more flexible distributions based on mixtures of normals. The Bayesian approach can use either a large but fixed number of normal components in the mixture or an infinite number bounded only by the sample size. By using flexible distributional approximations ... Read more
