Description for Bayesian Methods for Nonlinear Classification and Regression Hardcover. Regression analysis models the relationship between a set of responses and another variable: for example, to estimate the true position of a line through a number of observed points. Unfortunately, data rarely conforms to simple curves and straight lines - parametric models - and this text examines more complex - or nonparametric - models. Series: Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics. Num Pages: 294 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: PBK; PBT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 243 x 170 x 22. Weight in Grams: 582.
Nonlinear Bayesian modelling is a relatively new field, but one that has seen a recent explosion of interest. Nonlinear models offer more flexibility than those with linear assumptions, and their implementation has now become much easier due to increases in computational power. Bayesian methods allow for the incorporation of prior information, allowing the user to make coherent inference. Bayesian Methods for Nonlinear Classification and Regression is the first book to bring together, in a consistent statistical framework, the ideas of nonlinear modelling and Bayesian methods.
* Focuses on the problems of classification and regression using flexible, data-driven approaches.
