Frequentist validity of Bayesian limits

چکیده
To the frequentist who computes posteriors, not all priors are useful asymptotically: in this paper, a Bayesian perspective on test sequences is proposed and Schwartz’s Kullback–Leibler condition generalised to widen range of applications posterior convergence. With tests weakened form contiguity termed remote contiguity, we prove simple fully general theorems, for consistency rates convergence, odds model selection, conversion credible sets into confidence with asymptotic coverage one. For uncertainty quantification, means that prior inducing allows one enlarge calculated, simulated or approximated posteriors obtain asymptotically consistent sets.

Bayesian and frequentist approaches
Though the Bayesian vs. frequentist debate is largely muted in the statistics community, it continues among those applying advanced statistical methods in the physical sciences. The debate often misses some salient features on both sides, relying on simplistic arguments based on some single aspect of the methodology such as p-values or priors. The discussion here argues that each approach has s...
متن کاملBayesian Frequentist Multiple Testing
We introduce a Bayesian approach to multiple testing. The method is an extension of the false discovery rate (FDR) method due to Benjamini and Hochberg (1995). We also examine the empirical Bayes approach to simultaneous inference proposed by Efron, Tibshirani, Storey and Tusher (2001). We show that, in contrast to the single hypothesis case – where Bayes and frequentist tests do not agree even...
متن کاملBayesian Versus Frequentist Inference
1 Goals and Outline Throughout this book, the topic of order-restricted inference is dealt with almost exclusively from a Bayesian perspective. Some readers may wonder why the other main school for statistical inference – frequentist inference – has received so little attention here. Isn't it true that in the field of psychology, almost all inference is frequentist inference? The first goal of ...
متن کاملReconciling Bayesian and Frequentist
For the one-sided hypothesis testing problem it is shown that it is possible to reconcile Bayesian evidence against HO' expressed in terms of the posterior probability that HO is true, with frequentist evidence against HO' expressed in terms of the p-value. In fact, for many classes of prior distributions it is shown that the infimum of the Bayesian posterior probability of HO is either equal t...
متن کاملBayesian Frequentist Hybrid Inference
Bayesian and frequentist methods differ in many aspects, but share some basic optimality properties. In practice, there are situations in which one of the methods is more preferred by some criteria. We consider the case of inference about a set of multiple parameters, which can be divided into two disjoint subsets. On one set, a frequentist method may be favored and on the other, the Bayesian. ...
