Computational approaches for empirical Bayes methods and Bayesian sensitivity analysis
经验贝叶斯方法与贝叶斯敏感性分析的计算途径
We consider situations in Bayesian analysis where we have a family of priors νh on the parameter θ, where h varies continuously over a space $\mathcal{H}$, and we deal with two related problems. The first involves sensitivity analysis and is stated as follows. Suppose we fix a function f of θ. How do we efficiently estimate the posterior expectation of f(θ) simultaneously for all h in $\mathcal{H}$? The second problem is how do we identify subsets of $\mathcal{H}$ which give…
