Bayesian point null hypothesis testing via the posterior likelihood ratio
Neyman-Pearson or frequentist inference and Bayes inference are most clearly differentiated by their approaches to point null hypothesis testing. With very large samples, the frequentist and Bayesian conclusions from a classical test of significance for a point null hypothesis can be contradictory, with a small frequentist P -value casting serious doubt on the null hypothesis, but a large Bayes...
متن کاملBayesian Testing of a Point Null Hypothesis Based on the Latent Information Prior
Bayesian testing of a point null hypothesis is considered. The null hypothesis is that an observation, x, is distributed according to the normal distribution with a mean of zero and known variance σ. The alternative hypothesis is that x is distributed according to a normal distribution with an unknown nonzero mean, μ, and variance σ. The testing problem is formulated as a prediction problem. Ba...
متن کاملIntegrated objective Bayesian estimation and hypothesis testing: a discussion
The paper manages the tour de force of aggregating intrinsic loss functions with intrinsic (aka reference) priors. Thus, Professor Bernardo presents us with a unified picture of Bayesian analysis as he sees it and it is obviously fitting to see this cohesive perspective appearing in the Valencia 9 proceedings as a kind of third unification! We appreciated very much the paper and our comments wi...
متن کاملTesting a Point Null Hypothesis against One-Sided for Non Regular and Exponential Families: The Reconcilability Condition to P-values and Posterior Probability
In this paper, the reconcilability between the P-value and the posterior probability in testing a point null hypothesis against the one-sided hypothesis is considered. Two essential families, non regular and exponential family of distributions, are studied. It was shown in a non regular family of distributions; in some cases, it is possible to find a prior distribution function under which P-va...
متن کاملMultisource Bayesian sequential binary hypothesis testing problem
We consider the problem of testing two simple hypotheses about unknown local characteristics of several independent Brownian motions and compound Poisson processes. All of the processes may be observed simultaneously as long as desired before a final choice between hypotheses is made. The objective is to find a decision rule that identifies the correct hypothesis and strikes the optimal balance...
