The patient rule-induction method (PRIM) is a statistical learning method that seeks to locate regions in the feature space where the response variable has a high value. In this paper we present a Bayesian model-assisted PRIM algorithm. This algorithm can automatically cover promising regions in the feature space based on Bayes factor values and marginal posterior probabilities. The model-assisted part of the method begins with the specification of a flexible mean-variance shift model for quantitative response variables. This enables predictions, and has the potential to achieve even higher prediction power through the Bayesian model averaging. A simulated example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of this new algorithm.
