Oct 2, 2019 at 15:44 comment added Sjoerd Smit @kglr I have never seen that before, but a cursory glance at that source suggest that there is no conjugate prior for that type of regression. Is that correct? It seems like a rather different method to me. At any rate, I just released an update to my GitHub code and included a function for doing Laplace approximations for inference problems. You could try to use that if you want a different error model than Gaussian errors.
Oct 2, 2019 at 15:32 comment added kglr @SjoerdSmit, thank you!!! Any thoughts on how much additional effort it would take to extend it to quantile regression ( Bayesian Quantile Regression))?

Update link to point to a release tag instead (so future updates can't break the examples).

Jul 17, 2019 at 3:12 comment added BeanSith Thank you for doing this work and sharing it with the community. I do find it frustrating that Wolfram has not made greater efforts to facilitate the use the Bayesian paradigm and statistical models for those users, such as myself, who are not capable of building/programming these models/implementations themselves; but nonetheless are able and desirous of following along with the competent and professional implementations of others.

Jul 14, 2019 at 15:23 comment added Sjoerd Smit @chris Functions like LinearModelFit compute the Akaike Information Criterion and Bayesian Information Criterion. The serve a similar purpose, but are quite different from the Bayesian evidence. Furthermore, BayesianLinearRegression does not make point estimates (such as MAP) but retains the full distribution over the fit coefficients. Don't throw away information if you don't have to ;).
Jul 14, 2019 at 15:16 comment added chris Nice. I believe version 12 provides penalty in all fitting routines of mathematica? This is equivalent to maximum a posteriori where exp(penalty) represents the prior?

Jul 14, 2019 at 14:37 comment added Sjoerd Smit @Roman Yes you can: "Please refer to the example notebook for information about specification of priors" ;) (I updated that sentence with the section where you can find it)
Jul 14, 2019 at 14:36 comment added Roman Awesome! Is there a way to set the prior? What prior did you use by default?
