www.bias-project.org.ukBenefits of Bayesian Inference I Suitable framework to deal with a large number of problems I Priors can be used to account for initial information (for example, spatial dependence) I If no prior information is available, vague (or non-informative) priors can be used so that the posterior distribution will only depend on the data and the model.

tommyodland.comBayesian inference Gaussian variables. { To estimate N (˙2 is assumed known), use Gaussian prior. { To estimate = 1=˙2, use Gamma function as prior, i.e. Gam( ja;b) = ba a 1 ( a) exp( b ) since it has the same functional form as the likelihood. The Student-t distribution may be motivated by: { Adding an in nite number of Gaussians with ...
