Bayesian regression मॉडल

$Y_i$ = वयस्क $i$ का वज़न (kg)
$X_i$ = वयस्क $i$ की लंबाई (cm)

$\;$

मॉडल

$Y_i \sim N(m_i, s^2)$
$m_i = a + b X_i$

$a \sim N(0, 200^2)$
$b \sim N(1, 0.5^2)$
$s \sim \text{Unif}(0, 20)$

$b$ के लिए 95% posterior credible interval: (0.9152, 1.098)

Posterior credible intervals

Interpretation

हमारे priors और observed डेटा के आधार पर, 95% (posterior) संभावना है कि $b$ 0.9152 और 1.098 kg/cm के बीच है.

Posterior probabilities

table(weight_chains$b > 1.1)

FALSE  TRUE 
97835  2165

mean(weight_chains$b > 1.1)

0.02165

Interpretation:
$b$ के 1.1 kg/cm से अधिक होने की posterior संभावना 2.165% है.
