.: Mixture Priors for Bayesian Variable Selection :.
.: Prof. Marina Vannucci, Rice University, Houston :.

Abstract.
In this talk I will review Bayesian methods for variable
selection that use spike and slab priors. Specific interest
will be towards high-dimensional data. Linear and nonlinear
models will be considered, with continuous, categorical and
survival responses.  Applications will be to genomics data
from DNA microarray studies. The analysis of the
high-dimensional data generated by such studies often challenges
standard statistical methods. Models and algorithms are quite
flexible and allow us to incorporate additional information,
such as data substructure and/or knowledge on gene functions
and on relationships among genes.


Cordiali saluti
