On Posterior Credible Sets Based on the Score Statistic
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conditions for approximate frequentist validity of posterior credible sets based on the score statistic have been derived in the multiparameter case. These conditions can be helpful in supplementing similar conditions obtainable through the likelihood ratio statistic and the highest posterior density region. In the process, explicit expressions are given for the posterior quantiles of the score statistic. Similar results based on Wald's statistic have also been brie y indicated.

A simple analysis of the exact probability matching prior in the location-scale model
It has long been asserted that in univariate location-scale models, when concerned with inference for either the location or scale parameter, the use of the inverse of the scale parameter as a Bayesian prior yields posterior credible sets which have exactly the correct frequentist confidence set interpretation. This claim dates to at least Peers (1965), and has subsequently been noted by variou...
متن کاملHow many needles in the haystack? Adaptive inference and uncertainty quantification for the horseshoe
Abstract: We investigate the frequentist properties of Bayesian procedures for estimation and uncertainty quantification based on the horseshoe prior. We consider the sparse multivariate mean model and consider both the hierarchical Bayes method of putting a prior on the unknown sparsity level and the empirical Bayes method with the sparsity level estimated by maximum marginal likelihood. We sh...
متن کاملDiscussion : “ Coverage of Bayesian Credible Sets ”
First I like to congratulate the authors Botond Szabó, Aad van der Vaart and Harry van Zanten for a fine piece of work on the extremely important topic of frequentist coverage of adaptive nonparametric credible sets. Credible sets are used by Bayesians to quantify uncertainty of estimation, which is typically viewed as more informative than point estimation. Such sets are often easily construct...
متن کاملA Wavelet-based Spoofing Error Compensation Technique for Single Frequency GPS Stationary Receiver
Spoofing could pose a major threat to Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation, so the GPS users have to gain an in-depth understanding of GPS spoofing. Since spoofing attack can influence position results, spoof compensation is possible through reducing position deviations. In this paper, a novel processing technique is proposed and the wavelet transform is used to eliminate the impact of sp...
متن کاملBayesian inference of Weibull distribution based on left truncated and right censored data
This article deals with the Bayesian inference of the unknown parameters of the Weibull distribution based on the left truncated and right censored data. It is assumed that the scale parameter of the Weibull distribution has a gamma prior. The shape parameter may be known or unknown. If the shape parameter is unknown, it is assumed that it has a very general log-concave prior distribution. When...
