Bayesian Statistical Inference in Anesthesiology

4 July 2013 I N this issue of ANesthesiology, Kant et al.1 demonstrate the application of the Continual Reassessment Method in the estimation of the eD95 for bupivacaine. The article is not only of clinical interest, but also serves to illustrate the utility of a formal Bayesian statistical analysis. in the field of statistics, the use of such a Bayesian approach to evaluate scientific evidence...

Bayesian Geometric Theory of Statistical Inference

Statistical estimation is studied in the framework of Bayesian decision theory and information geometry. Extending information deviation (divergence) to the space of nite measures, it is shown that for a given prior and sample there exist ideal estimates given by a posterior average. The error of any estimate is decomposed into the sum of its deviation from the ideal estimate and the error of t...

The Bayesian Controversy in Statistical Inference

OF THE DISCUSSION Prof. G. A. Barnard, in introducing the paper, said that he felt not only honoured but particularly pleased to be given the opportunity of presenting the paper to a body of people who, probably for longer than anyone else, had been engaged in the application of mathematical doctrine and probabilities in the affairs of life. In § 2 he had indicated his view that the controversy...
