2 Outline Motivation: chronic spine pain and obesity Probit regression with BART Logistic regression with BART Geweke convergence diagnostics for binary BART

3 Motivation: chronic spine pain and obesity We believe that obesity is a risk factor for chronic lower back/buttock pain Conversely, obesity is not a risk factor for chronic neck pain Data available from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Arthritis Questionnaire 5106 subjects were surveyed Demographics: age and gender Anthropometrics available: weight (kg), height (cm), body mass index (kg/m 2 ), waist circumference (cm) Sampling weights to estimate for the US as a whole

4 Probit BART for binary outcomes Probit regression with latent variables: Albert & Chib 1993 JASA y i p i ind B(p i ) p i f = Φ(µ + f(x i )) where f prior BART { I(, 0) if y i = 0 z i y i, f N(f(x i ), 1) I(0, ) if y i = 1 f z i, y i d = f zi [y f] = N i=1 p yi i (1 p i) 1 yi Likelihood Continuous BART with unit variance, σ 2 = 1, and z i are the data

5 Friedman s partial dependence function Friedman 2001 AnnStat f(x) = f(x S, x C ) BART function where x = [x S, x C ] f(x S ) = E xc [f(x S, x C ) x S ] N 1 i f(x S, x ic ) f m (x S ) N 1 i f m (x S, x ic ) ˆf(x S ) M 1 m f m (x S )

6 pbart and mc.pbart input and output post <- pbart(x.train, y.train,..., ndpost=m, keepevery=1) or post <- mc.pbart(x.train, y.train,..., ndpost=m, keepevery=1, mc.cores=2, seed=99) Input matrices: x.train and, optionally, x.test: x i x 1 x 2.. x N Output object, post, of type pbart which is essentially a list Matrices: post$yhat.train and post$yhat.test: ŷ im = f m (x i ) ŷ ŷ N1... ŷ 1M... ŷ NM

7 predict.pbart input and output pred <- predict(post, x.test, mc.cores=1,...) Input matrices: x.test: x i x 1 x 2.. x Q Output matrix pred: ŷ im = f m (x i ) ŷ ŷ Q1... ŷ 1M... ŷ QM

11 Logistic BART for binary outcomes Logistic regression: Holmes & Held 1993 Bayesian Analysis Devroye 1986 Non-uniform random variate generation y i p i ind B(p i ) p i f = Φ(f(x i )) where f prior BART z i y i, f N ( f(x i ), σi 2 ) { I(, 0) if y i = 0 I(0, ) if y i = 1 σ 2 i = 4ψ 2 i where ψ i Kolmogorov-Smirnov (see Devroye) Continuous BART with heteroskedastic variance and z i is the data

12 Geweke convergence diagnostics for binary BART Hastings 1970 Biometrika, Silverman 1986 Chapman and Hall ˆθ M = M 1 M θ m m=1 Bayesian estimator σ 2ˆθ = ] [ˆθ lim V M M Asymptotic variance Suppose θ m is an ARMA (p, q) γ(w) = (2π) 1 m= V [θ 0, θ m ] e imw Spectral density ˆσ 2ˆθ = ˆγ 2 (0) Variance estimator

13 Geweke convergence diagnostics for binary BART Geweke 1992 Bayesian Statistics Divide your chain into two segments: A and B m A = {1,..., M A } where M A = am m B = {M M B + 1,..., M} where M B = bm a + b < 1, Geweke suggests a = 0.1 and b = 0.5 ˆθ A = M 1 A m A θ m ˆθ B = M 1 B m B θ m ˆσ 2ˆθ A = ˆγ 2 m A (0) ˆσ2ˆθ B = ˆγ 2 m B (0) z = M(ˆθ A ˆθ B ) a 1ˆσ 2ˆθA + b 1ˆσ 2ˆθB N(0, 1)

14 Geweke convergence diagnostics for binary BART We have a z i corresponding to each θ i = h(f(x i )) In the BART R package, we created the gewekediag function which was adapted from the coda R package Plummer, Best et al system.file( demo/geweke.pbart2.r, package= BART ) & system.file( demo/geweke.pbart3.r, package= BART )

15 Geweke convergence diagnostics for binary BART: simulated data scenario system.file( demo/geweke.pbart2.r, package= BART ) & system.file( demo/geweke.pbart3.r, package= BART ) N = 100, 1000, K = 50 f(x i ) = sin(πx 1i x 2i ) + 2(x 3i 0.5) 2 + x x 5 z i N(f(x i ), 1) y i = I(z i > 0)
