چکیده
Likelihood principle concerns foundations of statistical inference and it is often invoked in arguments about correct statistical reasoning. Let f(x|θ) be a conditional distribution for X given the unknown parameter θ. For the observed data, X = x, the function `(θ) = f(x|θ), considered as a function of θ, is called the likelihood function. The name likelihood implies that, given x, the value of θ is more likely to be the true parameter than θ′ if f(x|θ) > f(x|θ′).

متن کاملISyE8843A, Brani Vidakovic Handout 9 1 Bayesian Computation.
If the selection of an adequate prior was the major conceptual and modeling challenge of Bayesian analysis, the major implementational challenge is computation. As soon as the model deviates from the conjugate structure, finding the posterior (first the marginal) distribution and the Bayes rule is all but simple. A closed form solution is more an exception than the rule, and even for such close...
متن کاملWavelet Bayesian Block Shrinkage via Mixtures of Normal-Inverse Gamma Priors
In this paper we propose a block shrinkage method in the wavelet domain for estimating an unknown function in the presence of Gaussian noise. This shrinkage utilizes an empirical Bayes, block-adaptive approach that accounts for the sparseness of the representation of the unknown function. The modeling is accomplished by using a mixture of two normal-inverse gamma distributions as a joint prior ...
