... distributions comprise two informative Beta prior distributions from Beta(1, b > 1), Bayes-Laplace (uniform Beta) prior and Jeffreys' prior. However, the effects of these prior distributions were analysed using graphs to examine how each of these four priors accounts for the extreme cases of the binomial observation ( figure 4.2). That is, when there are no malnourished individual (x = 0) and when all are malnourished (x = n) in order to choose between them the best prior. ...

... the posterior points estimates namely mean, mode and variance were computed analytically with formulas as shown below while the interval estimates (95% credible intervals) and the median were obtained from the posterior quantiles using R statistical software. Also the posterior probabilities were computed from posterior simulation with the aid of R. Figure 4.1 shows how candidates were simulated from the posterior distributions. ...

In this work, we study systems consisting of a group of moving particles. In such systems, often some important parameters are unknown and have to be estimated from observed data. Such parameter estimation problems can often be solved via a Bayesian inference framework. However, in many practical problems, only data at the aggregate level is availa...
The objective of this work was to use the Bayesian method in the fitting of the Wood´s model for milk production of Saanen goats. Two groups of animals from first and second lactation were considered in the analysis. The posterior marginal distributions for each parameter and production functions, peak milk yield, time of peak yield, persistency an...
Based on direct measurements of half-hourly canopy evapotranspiration (ET; W m −2) using the eddy covariance (EC) system and daily soil evaporation (E; mm day −1) using microlysimeters over a crop ecosystem in arid northwestern China from 27 May to 14 September in 2013, a Bayesian method was used to simultaneously pa-rameterize the soil surface and...
The paper discusses the generalization of constrained Bayesian method (CBM) for arbitrary loss functions and its application for testing the directional hypotheses. The problem is stated in terms of false and true discovery rates. One more criterion of estimation of directional hypotheses tests quality, the Type III errors rate, is considered. The...
