Posterior Distribution for Negative Binomial Parameter p Using a Group Invariant Prior
نویسنده
چکیده
We obtain a noninformative prior measure for the p parameter of the negative binomial distribution by use of a group theoretic method. Heretofore, group theoretic inference methods have not been applicable in the case of discrete distributions. A linear representation of a group leads to quantities whose squared moduli constitute the probability distribution. The group invariant measure yields prior measure dp/p.

Estimation of parameter of proportion in Binomial Distribution Using Adjusted Prior Distribution
Historically, various methods were suggested for the estimation of Bernoulli and Binomial distributions parameter. One of the suggested methods is the Bayesian method, which is based on employing prior distribution. Their sound selection on parameter space play a crucial role in reducing posterior Bayesian estimator error. At times, large scale of the parametric changes on parameter space bring...
متن کاملMinimax Estimator of a Lower Bounded Parameter of a Discrete Distribution under a Squared Log Error Loss Function
The problem of estimating the parameter ?, when it is restricted to an interval of the form , in a class of discrete distributions, including Binomial Negative Binomial discrete Weibull and etc., is considered. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for which the Bayes estimator of with respect to a two points boundary supported prior is minimax under squared log error loss function....
متن کاملBayesian Sample Size Computing for Estimation of Binomial Proportions using p-tolerance with the Lowest Posterior Loss
This paper is devoted to computing the sample size of binomial distribution with Bayesian approach. The quadratic loss function is considered and three criterions are applied to obtain p-tolerance regions with the lowest posterior loss. These criterions are: average length, average coverage and worst outcome.
متن کاملLognormal and Gamma Mixed Negative Binomial Regression
In regression analysis of counts, a lack of simple and efficient algorithms for posterior computation has made Bayesian approaches appear unattractive and thus underdeveloped. We propose a lognormal and gamma mixed negative binomial (NB) regression model for counts, and present efficient closed-form Bayesian inference; unlike conventional Poisson models, the proposed approach has two free param...
متن کاملComparison between Frequentist Test and Bayesian Test to Variance Normal in the Presence of Nuisance Parameter: One-sided and Two-sided Hypothesis
This article is concerned with the comparison P-value and Bayesian measure for the variance of Normal distribution with mean as nuisance paramete. Firstly, the P-value of null hypothesis is compared with the posterior probability when we used a fixed prior distribution and the sample size increases. In second stage the P-value is compared with the lower bound of posterior probability when the ...
