Abstract:
|
This work describes a Bayesian approach for model selection in Gaussian conditional autoregressive models and Gaussian simultaneous autoregressive models that are commonly used to describe spatial lattice data. The approach is aimed at situations when all competing models have the same mean structure, and the model differences rely on some aspects of the covariance structure. As the selection criterion the method uses posterior model probabilities computed using some default priors on the model parameters. The proposed method is illustrated using two real datasets.
