Abstract:

We devise a new framework for fully Bayesian variable selection and model averaging that computationally scales linearly with the number of predictors and involves no MCMC. Our approach exploits an asummed block-diagonal structure of the Gramm matrix, which might there be by design (as in wavelets, PCA regression, or certain experimental designs) or it might be the result of a pre-processing of the predictors. At the stated cost our approach returns posterior model inclusion probabilities, the highest posterior probability model, and Bayesian model averaged estimates of parameters
