Title: Bayesian Model Selection Using Nonlocal Priors

Abstract:

Bayesian model selection method is applied for smoothing splines through knot selection. We compared different priors on knot selection problem and found corresponding shrinkage penalization for each prior. We also applied non-local priors on model selection for generalized linear models. Furthermore, computational issues for posterior sampling was addressed.
