Hierarchical modeling is a statistically rigorous way to make scientific inferences about a population (or specific object) based on many individuals (or observations). Frequentist multi-level modeling techniques exist, but we will discuss the bayesian approach today.
This post illustrates the benefits of bayesian hierarchical modeling, by expanding the metropolis sampler from my previous post to deal with more parameters. I will refer to hierarchical rather than multilevel models, as this highlights the use of hierarchical priors.
A hierarchical bayesian model is a model in which the prior distribution of some of the model parameters depends on other parameters, which are also assigned.
Introduction to hierarchical models one of the important features of a bayesian approach is the relative ease with which hierarchical models can be constructed and estimated using gibbs sampling. In fact, one of the key reasons for the recent growth in the use of bayesian methods in the social sciences is that the use of hierarchical models.
Abstract hierarchical modeling is a fundamental concept in bayesian statistics. The basic idea is that parameters are endowed with distributions which may themselves introduce new parameters, and this construction recurses.
While the results of bayesian regression are usually similar to the frequentist counterparts, at least with weak priors, bayesian anova is usually represented as a hierarchical model, which corresponds to random-effect anova in frequentist. We’ll then build on that to discuss multilevel regression models with varying intercepts and slopes.
