Zusammenfassung: | In this paper we introduce a novel Bayesian data augmentation approach for
estimating the parameters of the generalised logistic regression model. We
propose a P\'olya-Gamma sampler algorithm that allows us to sample from the
exact posterior distribution, rather than relying on approximations. A
simulation study illustrates the flexibility and accuracy of the proposed
approach to capture heavy and light tails in binary response data of different
dimensions. The methodology is applied to two different real datasets, where we
demonstrate that the P\'olya-Gamma sampler provides more precise estimates than
the empirical likelihood method, outperforming approximate approaches. |
