Posterior odds ratios for selected regression hypotheses.

Arnold Zellner, Aloysius Siow (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

Bayesian posterior odds ratios for frequently encountered hypotheses about parameters of the normal linear multiple regression model are derived and discussed. For the particular prior distributions utilized, it is found that the posterior odds ratios can be well approximated by functions that are monotonic in usual sampling theory F statistics. Some implications of these finding and the relation of our work to the pioneering work of Jeffreys and others are considered. Tabulations of...

Objective Bayesian point and region estimation in location-scale models.

José M. Bernardo (2007)

SORT

Similarity:

Point and region estimation may both be described as specific decision problems. In point estimation, the action space is the set of possible values of the quantity on interest; in region estimation, the action space is the set of its possible credible regions. Foundations dictate that the solution to these decision problems must depend on both the utility function and the prior distribution. Estimators intended for general use should surely be invariant under one-to-one transformations,...

Bayesian inference in group judgement formulation and decision making using qualitative controlled feedback.

S. James Press (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

This paper considers the problem of making statistical inferences about group judgements and group decisions using Qualitative Controlled Feedback, from the Bayesian point of view. The qualitative controlled feedback procedure was first introduced by Press (1978), for a single question of interest. The procedure in first reviewed here including the extension of the model to the multiple question case. We develop a model for responses of the panel on each stage. Many questions are treated...

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...

Predictive sample reuse: Discussion.

Similarity:

Discussion on the paper by Geisser, Seymour, Predictive sample reuse techniques for censored data, part of a round table on Bayesian and non-Bayesian conditional inference held in the First International Congress on Bayesian Methods (Valencia, Spain, 28 May - 2 June 1979).

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.

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...

On a famous problem of induction.

José M. Bernardo (1985)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

A Bayesian solution is provided to the problem of testing whether an entire finite population shows a certain characteristic, given that all the elements of a random sample are observed to have it. This is obtained as a direct application of existing theory and, it is argued, improves upon Jeffrey's solution.
