Posterior Predictive Distribution - University of South ...

Posterior Predictive Distribution I Recall that for a fixed value of θ, our data X follow the distribution p(X|θ). I However, the true value of θ is uncertain, so we should average over the possible values of θ to get a better idea of the distribution of X. I Before taking the sample, the uncertainty in θ is represented by the prior distribution p(θ).

13 Determining the Sample Size - Department of Statistics

A helpful tutorial on sample size issues is the paper by Steven Julious in Statistics in Medicine (Julious, 2004); a classic text is that of Desu and Raghavarao (1990). Nowadays, the use of specialist software for sample size determination such as NQuery, PASS or Power and Precision is common. We now consider the issues. 13.2 ISSUES

3 Basics of Bayesian Statistics

Basics of Bayesian Statistics Suppose a woman believes she may be pregnant after a single sexual encounter, but she is unsure. So, she takes a pregnancy test that is known to be 90% accurate—meaning it gives positive results to positive cases 90% of the time— and the test produces a positive result. 1 Ultimately, she would like to know the
