Abstract: | The authors present a new prior and corresponding algorithm for Bayesian analysis of the multinominal probit model. Their new approach places a prior directly on the identified parameter space. The key is the spesification of a prior on the covariance matrix so that the (1,1) element is fixed at 1 and it is possible to draw from the posterior using standard distributions. Analytical results are derived which can be used to aid in assessment of the prior. |
