Description
Sparse Varying Coefficient BART with Global-Local Priors".
Description
Fits sparse linear varying coefficient models (VCMs), which assert a linear relationship between an outcome and several covariates that is allowed to change as functions of additional variables known as effect modifiers. Designed for high-dimensional settings where the number of covariates (i.e., number of slopes) is comparable to or larger than the number of observations. Approximates the coefficient functions using a version of Bayesian Additive Regression Trees that can perform global-local shrinkage.
