So beginsSharon McGrayne's fun new book,The Theory That Would Not Die, a popular history ofBayes' Theorem. Instead of reviewing the book, I'll summarize some of its content below. I skip the details and many great stories from the book, for example the (Bayesian) search for a lost s...
Theorem 1(Limit of a peri-null Bayes factor) Let Y^{n} = ( Y_{1}, \ldots , Y_{n}) with Y_{i} \overset{\mathrm{iid}}{\sim }{\mathbb {P}}_{\theta } \in {\mathcal {P}}_{\varTheta } , where {\mathcal {P}}_{\varTheta } is an identifiable family of ...
These facts make it easier to understand and use Bayes ' theorem. They also provide tools for easily deriving approximate posteriors in particular families, especially normal. Other tools can then be used to evaluate the adequacy of naive use of these approximations. Even when, for example, a ...
Chapter 2 Bayes Factor for Model Choice 2.1 Introduction The Bayes factor can assist forensic scientists in the evaluation of findings when recipients of expert information need help in discriminating between propositions concerning, for example, a parameter of interest. A typical example is the ...
Utilizing Bayes’ Theorem, it is possible to assign a probability distribution to these weights based on the likelihood of observed data, leading to the determination of the posterior distribution of parameters. This approach allows for the specification of a joint probability distribution that reflects...
