Many seabirds die each year after exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons (Piatt and Lensink 1990; Khan and Ryan 1991). Crude oil, following ingestion, induces hemolytic anemia which occurs 4 to 5 d later (Leighton et al. 1983). A recent study reported the presence of hemosiderin in the liver of common murres (Uria aalge) at intervals up to 42 d after oil-contamination (Khan and Ryan 1991). Hemoside...

In this paper, we propose a class of Bayes estimators for the covariance matrix of graphical Gaussian models Markov with respect to a decomposable graph G. Working with the WPG family defined by Letac and Massam [Ann. Statist. 35 (2007) 1278–1323] we derive closed-form expressions for Bayes estimators under the entropy and squared-error losses. The WPG family includes the classical inverse of t...
