Reference Prior Bayesian Analysis for Normal Mean Products
正态均值乘积的参考先验贝叶斯分析
Two reference priors for the product of means of n normal distributions with common known variance are developed. One of them induces an improper posterior distribution and therefore is not of much interest. The other is a generalized form of the n = 2 case derived by Berger and Bernardo. The latter is compared with the uniform prior (the Jeffreys prior) in posterior inference and the optimal frequentist coverage criterion. The reference prior is shown to be better than the…
