Abstract:
|
Ordinal response data are commonly analyzed using logistic and probit regression models. However, these models are typically sensitive to outliers. A robust alternative, which is called the robit regression model, imposes Student's $t$ distribution to the model error. We study Bayesian variable selection with the robit regression model for ordinal data. In particular, we assign different hierarchical mixture prior distributions on the model parameters in conjunction with Bayesian data augmentation by introducing latent variables. Our proposed approaches are demonstrated by simulation studies and a real data example.
