topmodels.bma {BMS} | R Documentation |
Returns a matrix whose columns show which covariates were included in the best models in a 'bma' object. The last two columns detail posterior model probabilities.
topmodels.bma(bmao)
bmao |
an object of class 'bma' - see |
Each bma class (the result of bms) contains 'top models', the x models with tthe best analytical likelihood that bms had encountered while sampling
See pmp.bma
for an explanation of likelihood vs. MCMC
frequency concepts
Each column in the resulting matrix corresponds to one of the 'best' models in bmao: the first column for the best model, the second for the second-best model, etc. The model binaries have elements 1 if the regressor given by the row name was included in the respective models, and 0 otherwise. The second-last row shows the model's posterior model probability based on marginal likelihoods (i.e. its marginal likelihood over the sum of likelihoods of all best models) The last row shows the model's posterior model probability based on MCMC frequencies (i.e. how often the model was accepted vs sum of acceptance of all models) Note that the column names are hexcode representations of the model binaries (e.g. "03" for c(0,0,0,1,0,0))
