The roles of inductive modelling and coherence in Bayesian statistics.

Tom Leonard (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

The role of the inductive modelling process (IMP) seems to be of practical importance in Bayesian statistics; it is recommended that the statistician should emphasize meaningful real-life considerations rather than more formal aspects such as the axioms of coherence. It is argued that whilst axiomatics provide some motivation for the Bayesian philosophy, the real strength of Bayesianism lies in its practical advantages and its plausible representation of real-life processes. A number...

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.

Misclassified multinomial data: a Bayesian approach.

Carlos Javier Pérez, F. Javier Girón, Jacinto Martín, Manuel Ruiz, Carlos Rojano (2007)

RACSAM

Similarity:

In this paper, the problem of inference with misclassified multinomial data is addressed. Over the last years there has been a significant upsurge of interest in the development of Bayesian methods to make inferences with misclassified data. The wide range of applications for several sampling schemes and the importance of including initial information make Bayesian analysis an essential tool to be used in this context. A review of the existing literature followed by a methodological...

Sampling inference, Bayes' inference and robustness in the advancement of learning.

George E. P. Box (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

Scientific learning is seen as an iterative process employing Criticism and Estimation. Sampling theory use of predictive distributions for model criticism is examined and also the implications for significance tests and the theory of precise measurement. Normal theory examples and ridge estimates are considered. Predictive checking functions for transformation, serial correlation, and bad values are reviewed as is their relation with Bayesian options. Robustness is seen from a Bayesian...

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...
