Abstract
Considering the flexibility and applicability of Bayesian modeling, in this work we revise the main characteristics of two hierarchical models in a regression setting. We study the full probabilistic structure of the models along with the full conditional distribution for each model parameter. Under our hierarchical extensions, we allow the mean of the second stage of the model to have a linear dependency on a set of covariates. The Gibbs sampling algorithms used to obtain samples when fitting the models are fully described and derived. In addition, we consider a case study in which the plant size is characterized as a function of nitrogen soil concentration and a grouping factor (farm).
期刊介绍:
The Colombian Journal of Statistics publishes original articles of theoretical, methodological and educational kind in any branch of Statistics. Purely theoretical papers should include illustration of the techniques presented with real data or at least simulation experiments in order to verify the usefulness of the contents presented. Informative articles of high quality methodologies or statistical techniques applied in different fields of knowledge are also considered. Only articles in English language are considered for publication.
The Editorial Committee assumes that the works submitted for evaluation
have not been previously published and are not being given simultaneously for publication elsewhere, and will not be without prior consent of the Committee, unless, as a result of the assessment, decides not publish in the journal. It is further assumed that when the authors deliver a document for publication in the Colombian Journal of Statistics, they know the above conditions and agree with them.
