An approximate and practical solution is proposed for the Behrens-Fisher problem. This solution is compared to the solutions considered by MEHTA and SRINIVASAN (1970) and WELCH'S (1937) approximate t-test in terms of the stability of the size and magnitude of the power. It is shown that the stabilit

โฆ Synopsis
This paper is inspired by recent work of G.A. Barnard, who treats the Behrens-Fisher problem from a Bayesian point of view, and provides calculator programs to implement the solutions (including the classical fiducial solution). We review Barnard's work, and generalize his family of priors in a manner that makes it convenient to estimate the form of the prior from the observed variance ratio. A calculator program is provided t o give an empirical estimate (based on marginal maximum likelihood), in an interesting special case, of a parameter of the prior distribution. In addition, programs similar to Barnard's are provided to calculate Bayes or Empirical Bayes p-values and confidence intervals.
