Resumen de Partially linear beta regression model with autoregressive errors
Guillermo Ferreira, Jorge I. Figueroa Zúñiga, Mário de Castro
This paper is focused on developing a methodology to deal with time series data on the unit interval modeled by a partially linear model with correlated disturbances from a Bayesian perspective. In this context, the linear predictor of the beta regression model incorporates an unknown smooth function with time as an auxiliary covariate and a set of regressors. In addition, an autoregressive dependence structure is proposed for the errors of the model. This formulation can capture the dynamic evolution of curves using both non-stochastic explanatory variables and non-parametric components, allowing an accurate fit with a limited number of parameters. Diagnostic measures are derived from the case-deletion approach and an influence measure based on the Kullback–Leibler divergence is studied and thus, a new method to determine the optimal order of the autoregressive processes through an adaptive procedure using the conditional predictive ordinate statistic is presented. A simulation study is conducted to assess some properties of the Bayesian estimator. Finally, the proposed methodology is illustrated in two real-life applications.
