Clinical Trials A short course
... The simplest way to deal with this is using Bonferroni’s inequality. This implies that when performing m tests if each test is at the 1-α/m level then the tests taken simultaneously will be on the 1- α level. We will deal with problem in detail later on. ...

Bayes Estimation
... Bayes theorem is used to make probability statements about the parameter as in equation (1). In frequentist inference such prior probabilities are considered nonsensical. The parameter θ is considered an unknown constant, not a random variable. Since it is not random, making probability statements ...

A Poisson Point Process Model with Its Applications and Network Analysis of Genome-wide Association Study
... Although Bayes’s theorem demands a prior that is a probability distribution on the parameter space, the calculus associated with Bayes’s theorem sometimes generates sensible procedures from improper priors. However, improper priors may also lead to Bayes procedures that are paradoxical or otherwise ...

Posterior Distributions on Parameter Space via Group Invariance
... In answering the question “what is the probability distribution of the parameter given observed data” when there is little or no prior knowledge on the parameter values, one may consider three types of statistical inference: Bayesian, frequentist, and group invariance-based. The focus here is on the ...

... The probability density f() is called the prior and is meant to contain whatever information we have about before the data, in the form of a probability density. Restrictions on the possible values the parameters can take are placed here. More on this later. ...

Objective Bayes and Conditional Probability
... In Bayesian parametric inference, in the absence of subjective prior information about the parameter of interest, it is natural to consider use of an objective prior which leads to posterior probability quantiles which have, at least to some higher order approximation in terms of the sample size, th ...

Bayesian inference
Bayesian inference is a method of statistical inference in which Bayes' theorem is used to update the probability for a hypothesis as evidence is acquired. Bayesian inference is an important technique in statistics, and especially in mathematical statistics. Bayesian updating is particularly important in the dynamic analysis of a sequence of data. Bayesian inference has found application in a wide range of activities, including science, engineering, philosophy, medicine, and law. In the philosophy of decision theory, Bayesian inference is closely related to subjective probability, often called ""Bayesian probability"".
