This study introduces a Bayesian method for comparing hypotheses in regression models with categorical predictors. The approach effectively handles ordered alternatives and provides robust estimation using Gibbs sampling, applied here to cancer data.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Computational Statistics

Background:

  • Regression models with categorical predictors often require comparing homogeneity against ordered alternatives.
  • Existing methods may not fully capture complex ordered hypotheses or offer Bayesian inference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel Bayesian approach for hypothesis testing in normal linear and probit regression with categorical predictors.
  • To accommodate ordered alternatives, specifically umbrella ordering, using a changepoint parameter.
  • To provide a flexible framework for prior elicitation and posterior inference.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing conditionally conjugate prior densities for regression coefficients, including mixtures of point masses and truncated normal distributions.
  • Incorporating a changepoint parameter to model umbrella-ordered hypotheses.

  • Employing two prior elicitation strategies: Bayesian Bonferroni and random probabilities.
  • Implementing Gibbs sampling for posterior probability estimation and parameter estimation via model averaging.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed Bayesian method allows for the estimation of regression coefficients and posterior probabilities of hypotheses.
    • Gibbs sampling provides an efficient computational strategy for complex models.
    • The approach is demonstrated effectively on data from a carcinogenesis study, showcasing its practical applicability.

    Conclusions:

    • The Bayesian framework offers a powerful and flexible tool for analyzing ordered hypotheses in regression with categorical predictors.
    • The method facilitates robust inference and model averaging for improved predictive performance.
    • This approach is valuable for applications in biostatistics and other fields dealing with complex categorical data analysis.
