System Description

This paper is a system description of the anytime MaxSAT solver TT-Open-WBO-Inc, which won both of the weighted incomplete tracks of MaxSAT Evaluation 2019. We implemented the recently introduced polarity and variable selection heuristics, TORC and TSB, respectively, in the Open-WBO-Inc-BMO algorithm within the open-source anytime MaxSAT solver Open-WBO-Inc. As a result, the solver is substantially more efficient.

In this paper we address the problem of selecting important predictors from some larger set of candidate predictors. Standard techniques are limited by lack of power and high false positive rates. A Bayesian variable selection approach used widely in biostatistics, stochastic search variable selection, can be used instead to combat these issues by accounting for uncertainty in the other predictors of the model. In this paper we present Bayesian variable selection to aid researchers facing this common scenario, along with an online application (https://ssvsforpsych.shinyapps.io/ssvsforpsych/) to perform the analysis and visualize the results. Using an application to predict pain ratings, we demonstrate how this approach quickly identifies reliable predictors, even when the set of possible predictors is larger than the sample size. This technique is widely applicable to research questions that may be relatively data-rich, but with limited information or theory to guide variable selection.
