Abstract:

We explore the use of posterior predictive loss for model selection for incomplete longitudinal data. We show that a straightforward extension to incomplete data introduces an extra term (in addition to the goodness of fit and penalty terms) that compromises the criterion. We propose an alternative and explore its properties via simulations and on a real dataset.
