Improving predictive distributions.

Morris H. DeGroot (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

Consider a sequence of decision problems S, S, ... and suppose that in problem S the statistician must specify his predictive distribution F for some random variable X and make a decision based on that distribution. For example, X might be the return on some particular investment and the statistician must decide whether or not to make that investment. The random variables X, X, ... are assumed to be independent and completely unrelated. It is also assumed that each predictive distribution...

Distributions that are functions

Ricardo Estrada (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

It is well-known that any locally Lebesgue integrable function generates a unique distribution, a so-called regular distribution. It is also well-known that many non-integrable functions can be regularized to give distributions, but in general not in a unique fashion. What is not so well-known is that to many distributions one can associate an ordinary function, the function that assigns the distributional point value of the distribution at each point where the value exists, and that...

A Bayesian look at nuisance parameters.

A. Philip Dawid (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

The elimination of nuisance parameters has classically been tackled by various ad hoc devices, and has led to a number of attemps to define partial sufficiency and ancillarity. The Bayesian approach is clearly defined. This paper examines some classical procedures in order to see when they can be given a Bayesian justification.
