Prior Distributions for ELISA Analyses
Based on the design of the ELISA calibration in the comparability study CCQM-P58, three measured signals are simulated at each of the 11 known concentrations (100, 50, . . . , 0.195, 0) ng/ml. These calibration data are simulated according to Model (1.1) using the parameters β = (1.466, 0.1024, 67.93, 1.361), a = 3.933 × 10, c = 9.710 × 10, and are listed in Table 1. Based on the comparability ...
متن کاملPhysiological pharmacokinetic analysis using populationmodeling and informative prior distributions
We describe a general approach using Bayesian analysis for the estimation of parameters in physiological pharmacokinetic models. The chief statistical diiculty in estimation with these models is that any physiological model that is even approximately realistic will have a large number of parameters, often comparable to the number of observations in a typical pharmacokinetic experiment (for exam...
متن کاملWeakly Informative Prior for Covariance Matrices 1 Running head: WEAKLY INFORMATIVE PRIOR FOR COVARIANCE MATRICES Weakly Informative Prior for Point Estimation of Covariance Matrices in Hierarchical Models
When fitting hierarchical regression models, maximum likelihood estimation has computational (and, for some users, philosophical) advantages compared with full Bayesian inference, but when the number of groups is small, estimates of the covariance matrix (Σ) of group-level varying coefficients are often degenerate. One can do better, even from a purely point-estimation perspective, by using a p...
متن کاملThe Counter-intuitive Non-informative Prior for the Bernoulli Family
In Bayesian statistics, the choice of the prior distribution is often controversial. Different rules for selecting priors have been suggested in the literature, which, sometimes, produce priors that are difficult for the students to understand intuitively. In this article, we use a simple heuristic to illustrate to the students the rather counter-intuitive fact that flat priors are not necessar...
متن کاملCompatible Prior Distributions
We investigate two approaches to constructing compatible prior laws over alternative models: ‘projection’ and ‘conditioning’. Each of these is shown to require additional inputs. We suggest that these can be chosen in a natural way in each case, leading to ‘Kullback-Leibler projection’ and ‘Jeffreys conditioning’. We recommend the former for the case of coexisting models, and the latter for com...
