✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We consider the measures of jointness proposed by Doppelhofer and Weeks (2009) and Strachan (2009) in the context of variable selection. Using the general criteria suggested in Ley and Steel (2007), we identify some shortcomings of these measures, which are illustrated with empirically relevant example cases. We argue that careful examination of the properties of any jointness measure is critical before using it to inform decisions, and favour the use of the measures proposed in Ley and Steel (2007).

## Abstract Doppelhofer and Weeks (2009) present a statistic designed to indicate the probability that pairs of regressors appear together or individually in a Bayesian model averaged linear regression. This comment presents an alternative measure that is designed to overcome some of the limitation

## Abstract This paper introduces a new measure of dependence or __jointness__ among explanatory variables. Jointness is based on the joint posterior distribution of variables over the model space, thereby taking model uncertainty into account. By looking beyond marginal measures of variable import

## Abstract This comment contrasts the jointness statistics proposed by Doppelhofer and Weeks (2009) with alternatives proposed by Strachan (2009) and Ley and Steel (2007). In contrast to the alternatives, our jointness statistic constitutes a formal test for dependence over the joint posterior dis

In a recent article [1], Pun and Semercigil successfully applied a joint variable stiffness control (VSC) scheme to a one-link flexible arm. A standard finite element method was used to discretize the continuous system and produce global matrices. The Newmark-b method was applied to integrate the gl
