Nonparametric Bayes decision theory.

Sid R. Dalal (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

A summary of the seminar with the same title is presented. Ferguson's fundamental work on the theory of Dirichlet processes is elucidated and their shortcomings are discussed. Some modifications are also proposed and illustrated. Some of the intrincate mathematical issues related to the definitions and the proofs are not discussed for the sake of clarity and brevity. The development related to unimodal processes, briefly mentioned in the last section, will appear as a joint work with...

A Bayesian approach to cluster analysis.

José M. Bernardo, F.Javier Girón (1988)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

A general probabilistic model for describing the structure of statistical problems known under the generic name of cluster analysis, based on finite mixtures of distributions, is proposed. We analyse the theoretical and practical implications of this approach, and point out some open question on both the theoretical problem of determining the reference prior for models based on mixtures, and the practical problem of approximation that mixtures typically entail. Finally, models based...

Some history of the hierarchical Bayesian methodology.

Irving John Good (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

A standard tecnique in subjective Bayesian methodology is for a subject (you) to make judgements of the probabilities that a physical probability lies in various intervals. In the Bayesian hierarchical technique you make probability judgements (of a higher type, order, level or stage) concerning the judgements of lower type. The paper will outline some of the history of this hierarchical technique with emphasis on the contributions by I. J. Good because I have read every word written...

Unimodal contaminations in testing point null hypothesis.

Miguel Angel Gómez-Villegas, Luís Sanz (2003)

RACSAM

Similarity:

The problem of testing a point null hypothesis from the Bayesian perspective is considered. The uncertainties are modelled through use of ε?contamination class with the class of contaminations including: i) All unimodal distributions and ii) All unimodal and symmetric distributions. Over these classes, the infimum of the posterior probability of the point null hypothesis is computed and compared with the p?value and a better approach than the one known is obtained.

On the frequentist and Bayesian approaches to hypothesis testing.

Elías Moreno, F. Javier Girón (2006)

SORT

Similarity:

Hypothesis testing is a model selection problem for which the solution proposed by the two main statistical streams of thought, frequentists and Bayesians, substantially differ. One may think that this fact might be due to the prior chosen in the Bayesian analysis and that a convenient prior selection may reconcile both approaches. However, the Bayesian robustness viewpoint has shown that, in general, this is not so and hence a profound disagreement between both approaches exists. In...
