A noninformative Bayesian approach to domain estimation
SUMMARY Rather than an estimate of the population mean or total sometimes an estimate of the mean or total of a subpopulation or domain is desired. For such problems the number of units in the sample that fall into the domain is a random variable. This causes some complications for the usual frequen-tist approach. Here we give a simple and coherent noninformative Bayesian approach to domain est...
متن کاملA noninformative Bayesian approach to small area estimation
1 SUMMARY In small area estimation one uses data from similar domains to estimate the mean in a particular small area. This borrowing of strength is justified by assuming a model which relates the small area means. Here we suggest a noninformative or objective Bayesian approach to small area estimation. Using this approach one can estimate population parameters other than means and find sensibl...
متن کاملNoninformative Nonparametric Bayesian Estimation of Quantiles
In 1981 Rubin introduced the Bayesian bootstrap and argued that it was the natural Bayesian analogue to the usual bootstrap. We show here that when estimating a population quantile in a nonparametric problem it yields estimators that are often preferred to the natural naive estimators based on the order statistic.

متن کاملA noninformative Bayesian approach for two-stage cluster sampling
SUMMARY The polya posterior gives a noninformative Bayesian justification for various single-stage sampling procedures. Here this type of reasoning is extended to two-stage cluster sampling problems. The frequency properties of the resulting procedures are studied.
متن کاملBayesian wavelet-based image estimation using noninformative priors
The sparseness and decorrelation properties of the discrete wavelet transform have been exploited to develop powerful denoising methods. Most schemes use arbitrary thresholding nonlinearities with ad hoc parameters, or employ computationally expensive adaptive procedures. We overcome these de ciencies with a new wavelet-based denoising technique derived from a simple empirical Bayes approach ba...
