Abstract
This paper considers the sparse estimation problem of regression coefficients in the linear model. Note that the global–local shrinkage priors do not allow the regression coefficients to be truly estimated as zero, we propose three threshold rules and compare their contraction properties, and also tandem those rules with the popular horseshoe prior and the horseshoe+ prior that are normally regarded as global–local shrinkage priors. The hierarchical prior expressions for the horseshoe prior and the horseshoe+ prior are obtained, and the full conditional posterior distributions for all parameters for algorithm implementation are also given. Simulation studies indicate that the horseshoe/horseshoe+ prior with the threshold rules are both superior to the spike-slab models. Finally, a real data analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of variable selection of the proposed method.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
