Abstract
The quantile varying coefficient (VC) model can flexibly capture dynamical patterns of regression coefficients. In addition, due to the quantile check loss function, it is robust against outliers and heavy-tailed distributions of the response variable, and can provide a more comprehensive picture of modeling via exploring the conditional quantiles of the response variable. Although extensive studies have been conducted to examine variable selection for the high-dimensional quantile varying coefficient models, the Bayesian analysis has been rarely developed. The Bayesian regularized quantile varying coefficient model has been proposed to incorporate robustness against data heterogeneity while accommodating the non-linear interactions between the effect modifier and predictors. Selecting important varying coefficients can be achieved through Bayesian variable selection. Incorporating the multivariate spike-and-slab priors further improves performance by inducing exact sparsity. The Gibbs sampler has been derived to conduct efficient posterior inference of the sparse Bayesian quantile VC model through Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The merit of the proposed model in selection and estimation accuracy over the alternatives has been systematically investigated in simulation under specific quantile levels and multiple heavy-tailed model errors. In the case study, the proposed model leads to identification of biologically sensible markers in a non-linear gene-environment interaction study using the NHS data.
