Markov Chain Monte Carlo

2002-01-23 Thread Brian Leung
I’ve been trying to figure out how to use Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Bayesian analysis and there is (at least) one aspect that I’m not getting. Basically, I’m not sure how variances are optimized. To use a simple example (for which an analytic solution exists), let’s use a linear slope (b) forc

Greetings, I've read that the likelihood ratio test is not valid for non-nested models. Is this still true if the PF (i.e., multinomial) is the same, but the link function differs. Thanks, Brian = Instructions for joining and lea
