BAYESIAN INFERENCE FOR LINEAR AND NONLINEAR FUNCTIONS OF POISSON AND BINOMIAL RATES
This thesis focuses on objective Bayesian statistics, by evaluating a number of noninformative priors. Choosing the prior distribution is the key to Bayesian inference. The probability matching prior for the product of different powers of k binomial parameters is derived in Chapter 2. In the case of...
