Bayesian Structured Additive Distributional Regression
Thomas Kneib - Georg August-Universität Göttingen


ABSTRACT :
Distributional regression provides a unified framework for structured 
additive distributional regression with responses from a variety of 
continuous, discrete and latent (potentially multivariate) response 
distributions, where each parameter of these potentially complex 
distributions is related to a structured additive predictor. The latter 
is an additive composition of different types of covariate effects e.g. 
nonlinear effects of continuous covariates, random effects, spatial 
effects, or interaction effects. Inference is realised by a generic, 
computationally efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm based on 
iteratively weighted least squares approximations and with multivariate 
Gaussian priors to enforce specific properties of functional effects.
