Bayesian Analysis of Stochastically Ordered Distributions of Categorical Variables
分类变量随机有序分布的贝叶斯分析
This article considers a finite set of discrete distributions all having the same finite support. The problem of interest is to assess the strength of evidence produced by sampled data for a hypothesis of a specified stochastic ordering among the underlying distributions and to estimate these distributions subject to the ordering. We present a Bayesian approach that is an alternative to using the posterior probability of the hypothesis and the Bayes factor in favor of the…
