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...

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.

Three methods for constructing reference prior distributions.

Eusebio Gómez Sánchez-Manzano, Miguel A. Gómez Villegas (1990)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

Three methods are proposed for constructing reference prior densities for certain biparametric distribution families. These densities represent approximations to the Bayesian concept of noninformative distribution.

Incorporating patients' characteristics in cost-effectiveness studies with clinical trial data: a flexible Bayesian approach.

Francisco José Vázquez Polo, Miguel Angel Negrín Hernández (2004)

SORT

Similarity:

Most published research on the comparison between medical treatment options merely compares the results (effectiveness and cost) obtained for each treatment group. The present work proposes the incorporation of other patient characteristics into the analysis. Most of the studies carried out in this context assume normality of both costs and effectiveness. In practice, however, the data are not always distributed according to this assumption. Alternative models have to be developed. ...

Pivotal inference and the Bayesian controversy.

George A. Barnard (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

The theory of pivotal inference applies when parameters are defined by reference to their effect on observations rather than their effect on distributions. It is shown that pivotal inference embraces both Bayesian and frequentist reasoning.
