Some Bayesian methods for two auditing problems
SUMMARY Two problems of interest to auditors are i) finding an upper bound for the total amount of overstatement of assets in a set of accounts; and ii) estimating the amount of sales tax owed on a collection of transactions. For the first problem the Stringer bound has often been used despite the fact that in many cases it is known to be much too large. Here we will introduce a family of stepw...
متن کاملBAYES PREDICTION INTERVALS FOR THE BURR TYPE XI1 DISTRIBUTION IN THE PRESENCE OF OUTLIERS
Using a sample fiom Burr type XU distribution, Bayes prediction intervals are derived for the maximum and minimum of a future sample fromthe same distribution, but in the presence of a single outlier of the type 8,8. The prior of Q is assumed to be the gamma conjugate. A real example is given to illustrate the procedure. Also, the comparison between the values of the prediction bounds for dif...
متن کاملBayesian 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 کاملBayes Estimation for a Simple Step-stress Model with Type-I Censored Data from the Geometric Distribution
This paper focuses on a Bayes inference model for a simple step-stress life test using Type-I censored sample in a discrete set-up. Assuming the failure times at each stress level are geometrically distributed, the Bayes estimation problem of the parameters of interest is investigated in the both of point and interval approaches. To derive the Bayesian point estimators, some various balanced lo...
متن کاملIssues in Bayes Nets and Influence Diagrams: With Applications in Accounting and Auditing
Recently substantial research in artificial intelligence (AI) has focused on Bayes nets and the closely related influence diagrams. However, there has been little work in the accounting and auditing communi ties in this area of AI research. Bayes nets and influence diagrams have some advantages over deterministic AI approaches. These approaches employ probabilities to model decision making. Pr...
