In this paper, we consider Bayesian variable selection problem of linear regression model with global-local shrinkage priors on the regression coefficients. We propose a variable selection procedure that select a variable if the ratio of the posterior mean to the ordinary least square estimate of the corresponding coefficient is greater than $1/2$. Under the assumption of orthogonal designs, we show that if the local parameters have polynomial-tailed priors, our proposed method enjoys the… Expand

This paper derives sufficient conditions for posterior consistency under the Bayesian multivariate linear regression framework and proves that the method achieves posterior consistency even when p>n and even whenp grows at nearly exponential rate with the sample size. Expand
Adaptive Bayesian Shrinkage Estimation Using Log-Scale Shrinkage Priors
• Mathematics, Computer Science
• ArXiv
• 2018
This paper proposes a new type of ultra-heavy tailed prior, called the log-$t$ prior, which exhibits the property that, irrespective of the choice of associated scale parameter, the induced marginal distribution over $\ beta_j$ always diverge at $\beta_j = 0$, and always possesses super-Cauchy tails.

Bayesian Fusion Estimation via t Shrinkage
• Computer Science, Mathematics

This work proposes to impose heavy-tail shrinkage prior, e.g., $t$ prior, on the differences of successive parameter entries, and such a fusion prior will shrink successive differences towards zero and hence induce posterior blocking. Expand
