| contents | Censoring occurs when an outcome is unobserved beyond some threshold value. Methods that do not account for censoring produce biased predictions of the unobserved outcome. This paper introduces Type I Tobit Bayesian Additive Regression Tree (TOBART-1) models for censored outcomes. Simulation results and real data applications demonstrate that TOBART-1 produces accurate predictions of censored outcomes. TOBART-1 provides posterior intervals for the conditional expectation and other quantities of interest. The error term distribution can have a large impact on the expectation of the censored outcome. Therefore the error is flexibly modeled as a Dirichlet process mixture of normal distributions. |
