Abstract:
|
We obtain a joint model for a collection of probability distributions for data that are indexed by covariates. We allow for (i) differences in distributional characteristics across predictor combinations and (ii) dependence among distributions that correspond to similar predictors. The method is analogous to MacEachern's (1999) development the Dependent Dirichlet Process (DDP). We compare various methods using real and simulated data.
