An MCMC approach to empirical Bayes inference and Bayesian sensitivity analysis via empirical processes
基于经验过程的MCMC经验贝叶斯推断与贝叶斯敏感性分析
Consider a Bayesian situation in which we observe $Y\sim p_{\theta}$, where $\theta\in\Theta$, and we have a family $\{\nu_{h},h\in\mathcal{H}\}$ of potential prior distributions on $\Theta$. Let $g$ be a real-valued function of $\theta$, and let $I_{g}(h)$ be the posterior expectation of $g(\theta)$ when the prior is $\nu_{h}$. We are interested in two problems: (i) selecting a particular value of $h$, and (ii) estimating the family of posterior expectations $\{I_{g}(h),h\in\mathcal{H}\}$…
