Comparison between fiducial and objective Bayesian inference
R. A. Fisher’s fiducial inference has been the subject of many discussions and controversies ever since he introduced the idea during the 1930’s. The idea experienced a bumpy ride, to say the least, during its early years and one can safely say that it eventually fell into disfavor among mainstream statisticians. However, it appears to have made a resurgence recently under the label of generali...

This paper reviews Bayesian Nonparametric methods and discusses how parametric predictive densities can be constructed using nonparametric ideas.
متن کاملPlausible Prediction by Bayesian Inference
The capability to perform inference with uncertain and incomplete information is characteristic to intelligent systems. Many of the research issues in artiicial intelligence and computational intelligence can actually be viewed as topics in the \science of uncertainty," which addresses the problem of plausible inference, i.e., optimal processing of incomplete information. The various diierent a...
متن کاملFiducial Inference and Belief Functions
One aspect of Fisher’s work which has puzzled a great many statisticians is the idea of Fiducial Inference. Using “pivotal” variables, Fisher moves from logical statements about restrictions of parameter spaces to probabilistic statements about parameters. The method works, but with a lot of caveats: the pivotal variables must be sufficient statistics, must be continuous, &c. Dempster’s explora...
متن کاملFiducial prediction
A real-valued fiducial process is a process in the probabilistic sense, but the probability distributions are not defined on Borel sets. The adjective ‘fiducial’ indicates that a group acts on the observation spaces and the probability distributions are defined on the smaller σ-algebra of group-invariant Borel sets. Since a different group action determines a different σ-algebra, the group is a...
