A Noninformative Bayesian Approach to Interval Estimation in Finite Population Sampling
有限总体抽样区间估计的无信息贝叶斯方法
A noninformative Bayesian approach to interval estimation in finite population sampling is discussed. Given the sample, this method introduces the Polya distribution as a pseudo posterior distribution over the unobserved members of the population. In many cases this distribution yields interval estimates similar to those of standard frequentist theory. In addition, it can be used in situations where the standard methods are difficult to apply, for example, in producing an…
