A Review Of The Bms Package For R, Shahram Amini, Christopher Parmeter Dec 2011

A Review Of The Bms Package For R, Shahram Amini, Christopher Parmeter

Christopher F. Parmeter

This paper describes the relative merits and attractiveness of the newest Bayesian model averaging package, BMS, available in the statistical software R to implement a Bayesian model averaging exercise. This package provides the user a wide range of customizable priors for conducting a BMA analysis, provides ample graphs to visualize results and offers several alternative model search mechanisms.

Bayesian Model Averaging In R, Shahram Amini, Christopher Parmeter Dec 2010

Bayesian Model Averaging In R, Shahram Amini, Christopher Parmeter

Christopher F. Parmeter

Bayesian model averaging has increasingly witnessed applications across an array of empirical contexts. However, the dearth of available statistical software which allows one to engage in a model averaging exercise is limited. It is common for consumers of these methods to develop their own code, which has obvious appeal. However, canned statistical software can ameliorate one’s own analysis if they are not intimately familiar with the nuances of computer coding. Moreover, many researchers would prefer user ready software to mitigate the inevitable time costs that arise when hard coding an econometric estimator. To that end, this paper describes the relative …
