Abstract:
|
Binary measurements are commonly used in many scientific fields. There are two critical issue in Binary regression problem. First critical issue in modeling binary response data is the appropriate choice of link functions. Commonly used link functions such as logit, probit or c-loglog have fixed skewness and lack flexibility to allow data to determine the degree of skewness. Second, in many cases simple monotonic trend may not be appropriate for the latent regression function. To address both these limitation, we propose a new family of flexible binary regression model which combines power link function with a Gaussian process prior on the latent structure. Model parameters are estimated using Bayesian computation. The performance of the proposed model are illustrated through detailed simulation studies and a real data example.
