基于广义矩方法的异方差稳健贝叶斯线性回归推断
Heteroskedasticity-robust inference in Bayesian linear regression via the generalized method of moments.
Psychological Methods 发表的一项研究提出用贝叶斯广义矩方法实现半参数贝叶斯线性回归,无需为误差项指定概率分布,也不依赖同方差性和正态性假设。
This study proposes a semiparametric approach to Bayesian linear regression using the Bayesian generalized method of moments. Unlike conventional methods, the proposed approach does not require specifying a probability distribution for the error term and avoids relying on the assumptions of homoskedasticity and normality. The primary advantage of this method is its ability to provide valid inference, particularly credible intervals with correct coverage, even in the presence of heteroskedasticity. Simulation studies show that both frequentist and Bayesian methods assuming homoskedasticity yield confidence or credible intervals with poor coverage under heteroskedasticity, whereas the proposed method consistently achieves accurate and reliable uncertainty quantification. A case study further demonstrates that failing to account for heteroskedasticity can lead to misleading conclusions. Overall, the proposed method offers a robust and practical alternative to conventional likelihood-based Bayesian linear regression, with potential extensions to more complex models involving linear components.
