In this paper we propose Bayesian methods to fit econometric regression models, including those where the variability is assumed to follow a regression structure. We formulate the main functions of the statistical R-package BSPADATA, developed according to the proposed methods to obtain posteriori parameter inferences. After that, we include results of simulated studies to illustrate the use of this package and the performance of the proposed methods. Finally, we provide studies to illustrate the applications of the models and compare our results with that obtained by maximum likelihood.
En este artículo proponemos métodos bayesianos para ajustar modelos de regresión econométrica, incluidos aquellos en los que la variabilidad sigue una estructura de regresión. Formulamos las principales funciones del Rpackage estadístico BSPADATA, desarrollado según los métodos propuestos para obtener inferencias de parámetros a posteriori. Luego, incluimos resultados de estudios de simulación para ilustrar el uso de este paquete y el desempeño de los métodos propuestos. Finalmente, proporcionamos estudios para ilustrar las aplicaciones de los modelos y comparamos nuestros resultados con los obtenidos por máxima verosimilitud.
