The Concept of Exchangeability and its Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
The general concept of exchangeability allows the more flexible modelling of most experimental setups. The representation theorems for exchangeable sequences of random variables establish that any coherent analysis of the information thus modelled requires the specification of a joint probability distribution on all the parameters involved, hence forcing a Bayesian approach. The concept of partial exchangeability provides a further refinement, by permitting appropriate modelling of related experimental setups, leading to coherent information integration by means of so-called hierarchical models. Recent applications of hierarchical models for combining information from similar experiments in education, medicine and psychology have been produced under the name of meta-analysis.

متن کاملRadical and It’s Applications in BCH-Algebras
Let $X$ be a $BCH$-algebra and $I$ be an ideal of $X$. In this paper, we introduce the concept of $sqrt{I}$. We show that it is an ideal of $X$, when $I$ is closed ideal of $X$. Then we verify some useful properties of it. We prove that it is the ::::union:::: of all $k-$nil ideals of $I$. Moreover, if $I$ is a closed ideal of $X$, then $sqrt{I}$ is a closed translation ideal and so we can cons...
متن کاملThe concept of logic entropy on D-posets
In this paper, a new invariant called {it logic entropy} for dynamical systems on a D-poset is introduced. Also, the {it conditional logical entropy} is defined and then some of its properties are studied. The invariance of the {it logic entropy} of a system under isomorphism is proved. At the end, the notion of an $ m $-generator of a dynamical system is introduced and a version of the Kolm...
