Bayesian reliability analysis when multiple early failures may be present.

Samir K. Bhattacharya, Ravinder K. Tyagi (1991)

Trabajos de Estadística

Similarity:

This paper discusses the Bayesian reliability analysis for an exponential failure mode on the basis of some ordered observations when the first p observations may represent early failures or outliers. The Bayes estimators of the mean life and reliability are obtained for the underlying parametric model referred to as the SB(p) model under the assumption of the squared error loss function, the inverted gamma prior for scale parameter and a generalized uniform prior for the nuisance parameter. ...

Bayesian estimation of the intraclass correlation coefficients in the mixed linear model

Teresa H. Jelenkowska (1998)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The method of determining Bayesian estimators for the special ratios of variance components called the intraclass correlation coefficients is presented. The exact posterior distribution for these ratios of variance components is obtained. The approximate posterior mean of this distribution is also derived. All computations are non-iterative and avoid numerical integration.

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...

Likelihood and the Bayes procedure.

Hirotugu Akaike (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

In this paper the likelihood function is considered to be the primary source of the objectivity of a Bayesian method. The necessity of using the expected behaviour of the likelihood function for the choice of the prior distribution is emphasized. Numerical examples, including seasonal adjustment of time series, are given to illustrate the practical utility of the common-sense approach to Bayesian statistics proposed in this paper.
