โœฆ Synopsis

The theory of Bayesian least squares is developed for a general and more tangible notion of conjugacy than in models which make the more conventional assumption of normality. This paper is primarily concerned with extending the results of classical conjugate normal-normal Bayesian analysis to the canonical setting of the generalized linear model when, at the same time, the sampling distribution and the prior are spherically symmetric. In order to underline the intrinsic aspect of our results, the approach of multivariate analysis adopted here is coordinate free. Examples which illustrate the theory are also presented.

In the normal case it is well known that, although the James-Stein rule is minimax. it is not admissible and the associated positive rule is one way to improve on it. We extend this result to the class of the spherically symmetric distributions and to a large class of shrinkage rules. Moreover we pr

Consider m random samples which are independently drawn from m shifted exponential distributions, with respective location parameters 01,02, ..., Om and common scale parameter a. On the basis of the given samples and in a Bayesian framework, we address the problem of estimating the scale parameter a

In this paper exact formulae of the probability density function for the spherically symmetric distribution with marginal logistic are given. They are entirely different for odd and even dimensions. For an odd number of dimensions it is possible to express them by elementary functions but for an eve
