Goldstein and Shaw (2002) developed Bayes linear kinematics describing how a Bayes linear analysis should be carried out when we only receive partial information which changes our beliefs about a vector of random quantities in some generalised way. In this paper we explore principles of local computation for Bayes linear kinematic updates. This theory is illustrated by the Bayes linear Bayes mo...

to compare different qtl mapping methods, a population with genotypic and phenotypic data was simulated. in bayesian approach, all information of markers can be used along with combination of distributions of snp markers. it is assumed that most of the markers (95%) have minor effects and a few numbers of markers (5%) exert major effects. the simulated population included a basic population of ...

This appendix has three parts. §A contains formal analysis and proofs for the model. Additional results are also derived. §B describes our methodology for identifying eponymous firms, and shows our results are robust to alternative methods. §C contains additional empirical results and robustness checks. §A Formal Analysis of the Model Preliminaries We note three properties of the sender's expec...

This article examines the consistency, interpretation and application of Bayes factors constructed from standard test statistics. Primary conclusions are that Bayes factors based on multinomial and normal test statistics are consistent for suitable choices of the hyperparameters used to specify alternative hypotheses, and that such constructions can be extended to obtain consistent Bayes factor...

introduction : activated protein c (apc) inactivates factor v by cleavage of its heavy chain at arg306, arg506, arg679, and lys994. mutational changes, which abolish apc cleavage sites, may predispose thrombosis by altering the inactivation process of factor v.  factor v leiden (arg506glu) has been demonstrated as a strong risk factor for thrombosis. in the current study, we have studied whethe...

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...
