BayesianDisaggregation: Evidence-Based Bayesian Disaggregation of Aggregate Indices
Disaggregates an observed aggregate price index into sectoral
components with a Bayesian state-space model in which the aggregate enters as
a genuine observation density rather than as a renormalization identity. A
random-walk-with-drift transition in log space (with partial pooling on the
drift and the innovation scale) and an estimable cross-sectional
concentration produce posterior draws of the sectoral indices with credible
intervals, suitable as multiple-imputation input for downstream dynamic
models. The Hamiltonian Monte Carlo engine follows Stan (Carpenter et al.,
2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v076.i01>; model comparison uses Pareto Smoothed
Importance Sampling Leave-One-Out cross-validation (Vehtari, Gelman and
Gabry, 2017) <doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9696-4>. A closed-form linear-Gaussian
Kalman/RTS smoother provides an exact, MCMC-free Bayesian alternative for the
same aggregate evidence.
