Marginalization Paradoxes in Bayesian and Structural Inference

Dawid, A. P., Stone, M., Zidek, J. V.·1973·Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology

Abstract

Summary: We describe a range of routine statistical problems in which marginal posterior distributions derived from improper prior measures are found to have an unBayesian property—one that could not occur if proper prior measures were employed. This paradoxical possibility is shown to have several facets that can be successfully analysed in the framework of a general group structure. The results cast a shadow on the uncritical use of improper prior measures. A separate examination of a particular application of Fraser's structural theory shows that it is intrinsically paradoxical under marginalization.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
