Regression variable selection | Statistical models

Statistical model specification

In statistics, model specification is part of the process of building a statistical model: specification consists of selecting an appropriate functional form for the model and choosing which variables to include. For example, given personal income together with years of schooling and on-the-job experience , we might specify a functional relationship as follows: where is the unexplained error term that is supposed to comprise independent and identically distributed Gaussian variables. The statistician Sir David Cox has said, "How [the] translation from subject-matter problem to statistical model is done is often the most critical part of an analysis". (Wikipedia).

Data types

Data that are collected for statistical analysis can be classified according to their type. It is important to know what data type we are dealing with as this determines the type of statistical test to use.

(ML 13.6) Graphical model for Bayesian linear regression

As an example, we write down the graphical model for Bayesian linear regression. We introduce the "plate notation", and the convention of shading random variables which are being conditioned on.
