The Robustness and Sensitivity of the Mixed-Dirichlet Bayesian Test for "Independence" in Contingency Tables
列联表独立性的混合 Dirichlet 贝叶斯检验:稳健性与敏感性
A mixed-Dirichlet prior was previously used to model the hypotheses of "independence" and "dependence" in contingency tables, thus leading to a Bayesian test for independence. Each Dirichlet has a main hyperparameter $\kappa$ and the mixing is attained by assuming a hyperprior for $\kappa$. This hyperparameter can be regarded as a flattening or shrinking constant. We here review the method, generalize it and check the robustness and sensitivity with respect to variations in…
