Abstract

A Bayesian Rank Based Method for linear models where estimation of the regression coefficient(s) is based on the full conditional distributions is proposed in this research. The data likelihood is based on the asymptotic distribution of the gradient function where the asymptotic linearity of this rank based quantity is utilized. Prior distributions are put on regression coefficient(s) and scale parameter. The effects of different priors on this scale parameter are studied. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo method is used to simulate data from the respective full conditionals for inference purposes. The proposed method is compared to Zhan and Hettmansperger (2009) results.
