| Associated to the scholarship: | 12/20267-9 - Extensions of Bayesian quantile regression models, BP.DR |
Abstract Bayesian quantile regression models have received a great deal of attention in the literature. During the research internship, we will study the extension of these models to fit the two-part model proposed by Cragg (1971) and generalized by Moulton and Halsey (1995), through parametric and semiparametric approaches. Together with prof. Alan Gelfand, we will consider methods related to priori selection in these models, as well as appropriated model selection methods to both parts of the models. We wish to make available the results in packages in the repository www.cran.r-project.org. (AU) | |
