Bayesian Inference Under Partial Prior Information
Partial prior information on the marginal distribution of an observable random variable is considered. When this information is incorporated into the statistical analysis of an assumed parametric model, the posterior inference is typically non-robust so that no inferential conclusion is obtained. To overcome this difficulty a method based on the standard default prior associated to the model an...
متن کاملStatistical inference with partial prior information
Statistical inference procedures are considered when less complete prior information is available than usually considered. For the purposes of this paper, the prior information is taken to be the specification of a set of probability measures 9. With any one prior probability measure the corresponding Bayes’ estimate may be found; the recommended inference procedure when a whole set of prior pr...
متن کاملBayesian Inference under Ambiguity: Conditional Prior Belief Functions
Bayesian inference under imprecise prior information is studied: the starting point is a precise strategy σ and a full B-conditional prior belief functionBelB , conveying ambiguity in probabilistic prior information. In finite spaces, we give a closed form expression for the lower envelope P of the class of full conditional probabilities dominating {BelB , σ} and, in particular, for the related...
متن کاملRisk Analysis under Partial Prior Information and Nonmonotone Utility Functions
The main objective of the paper is to investigate the risk analysis problems when a precise but unknown probability distribution of states of nature belongs to a set of continuous probability distributions restricted by some known lower and upper distributions and when utility functions are non-monotone. Methods for choosing “optimal” distributions among the set of distributions and for computi...
