Popis: In linear regression models, fusion of coefficients is used to identify predictors having similar relationships with a response. This is called variable fusion. This paper presents a novel variable fusion method in terms of Bayesian linear regression models. We focus on hierarchical Bayesian models based on a spike-and-slab prior approach. A spike-and-slab prior is tailored to perform variable fusion. To obtain estimates of the parameters, we develop a Gibbs sampler for the parameters. Simulation studies and a real data analysis show that our proposed method achieves better performance than previous methods.
