Abstract:
|
In this talk I will review Bayesian methods for variable selection that use spike and slab priors. Specific interest will be towards high-dimensional data. Linear and nonlinear models will be considered, with continuous, categorical and survival responses. Applications will be to genomics data from DNA microarray studies. The analysis of the high-dimensional data generated by such studies often challenges standard statistical methods. Models and algorithms are quite flexible and allow us to incorporate additional information, such as data substructure and/or knowledge on gene functions and on relationships among genes.
