Han (2004) first proposed a new definition of Bayesian estimators called "Expected Bayesian Estimators". This new approach was the generalization of the "hierarchical" approach proposed by Lindley and Smith (1972).

Experimental Investigation on the Elicitation of Subjective Distributions
Elicitation methods aim to build participants' distributions about a parameter of interest. In most elicitation studies this parameter is rarely known in advance and hinders an objective comparison between elicitation methods.

Prior Distributions on Measure Space
Summary A measure is the formal representation of the non-negative additive functions that abound in science. We review and develop the art of assigning Bayesian priors to measures. Where necessary, spatial correlation is delegated to correlating kernels imposed on otherwise uncorrelated priors.

ABSTRACT Background An internal tandem duplication in the gene encoding Fms‐like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3‐ITD) is associated with high relapse risk and poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and plays a crucial role in treatment decisions. Measurable residual disease (MRD) analysis of FLT3‐ITD during and after treatment has shown prognostic ...

The Bayesian Predictive Distribution of Order Statistics of a Future Sample from a Mixed Exponential Distribution [PDF]
The Bayesian predictive distribution of the rth order statistics of a "future" sample from a mixed exponential distribution, is given, based on a current type I censored sample from the same distribution and using the prior distribution given in Jones ...

ABSTRACT Background Wilms tumor (WT) treatment imposes a significant time burden on patients and their families. Time toxicity is a patient‐centered metric that quantifies the burden of healthcare interaction. We sought to define time toxicity in the first year after diagnosis of WT and hypothesized that it would increase as tumor stage and treatment ...

On the Distribution of the Surplus Prior and at Ruin [PDF]
AbstractConsider a classical compound Poisson model. The safety loading can be positive, negative or zero. Explicit expressions for the distributions of the surplus prior and at ruin are given in terms of the ruin probability. Moreover, the asymptotic behaviour of these distributions as the initial capital tends to infinity are obtained. In particular,

ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is assessed by cell counting and cytomorphology from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is used for treatment stratification worldwide. The ratio of “CNS2” patients in clinical trials ranges from 3% to 40%, with unclear prognostic significance ...

Specifying prior distributions in reliability applications
Especially when facing reliability data with limited information (e.g., a small number of failures), there are strong motivations for using Bayesian inference methods. These include the option to use information from physics‐of‐failure or previous experience with a failure mode in a particular material to specify an informative prior distribution ...
