Bayesian two-sample tests
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present two classes of Bayesian approaches to the twosample problem. Our first class of methods extends the Bayesian t-test to include all parametric models in the exponential family and their conjugate priors. Our second class of methods uses Dirichlet process mixtures (DPM) of such conjugate-exponential distributions as flexible nonparametric priors over the unknown distributions.

Bayesian Two-Sample Prediction with Progressively Type-II Censored Data for Some Lifetime Models
Prediction on the basis of censored data is very important topic in many fields including medical and engineering sciences. In this paper, based on progressive Type-II right censoring scheme, we will discuss Bayesian two-sample prediction. A general form for lifetime model including some well known and useful models such asWeibull and Pareto is considered for obtaining prediction bounds ...
متن کاملOn the use of non-local prior densities in Bayesian hypothesis tests
We examine philosophical problems and sampling deficiencies that are associated with current Bayesian hypothesis testing methodology, paying particular attention to objective Bayes methodology. Because the prior densities that are used to define alternative hypotheses in many Bayesian tests assign non-negligible probability to regions of the parameter space that are consistent with null hypothe...
متن کاملBayesian Sample Size Determination for Joint Modeling of Longitudinal Measurements and Survival Data
A longitudinal study refers to collection of a response variable and possibly some explanatory variables at multiple follow-up times. In many clinical studies with longitudinal measurements, the response variable, for each patient is collected as long as an event of interest, which considered as clinical end point, occurs. Joint modeling of continuous longitudinal measurements and survival time...
متن کاملThe Effect of Bayesian Reasoning Training on the Results of Clinical Reasoning Tests of Interns
Introduction: Clinical reasoning includes a range of thinking about clinical medicine at all stages of patient evaluation. Bayesian theory can be used to refute or confirm differential diagnoses in the clinical reasoning process. In this way, by learning the basic mathematical language of probability in medicine, we can change our beliefs according to new evidence. The aim of this study is to i...
متن کاملBayesin estimation and prediction whit multiply type-II censored sample of sequential order statistics from one-and-two-parameter exponential distribution
In this article introduce the sequential order statistics. Therefore based on multiply Type-II censored sample of sequential order statistics, Bayesian estimators are derived for the parameters of one- and two- parameter exponential distributions under the assumption that the prior distribution is given by an inverse gamma distribution and the Bayes estimator with respect to squared error loss ...
متن کاملAssessing Robustness of Intrinsic Tests of Independence in Two-Way Contingency Tables
A condition needed for testing nested hypotheses from a Bayesian viewpoint is that the prior for the alternative model concentrates mass around the smaller, or null, model. For testing independence in contingency tables, the intrinsic priors satisfy this requirement. Further, the degree of concentration of the priors is controlled by a discrete parameter m, the training sample size, which plays...
