Bayesian Regression Trees, Nonparametric Heteroscedastic Regression Modeling and MCMC Sampling

-

B1 L2

In this talk, we introduce a new Bayesian regression tree model that allows for possible heteroscedasticity in the variance model and devise novel MCMC samplers that appear to adequately explore the posterior tree space of this model.
