In order to study the phenomenon in detail that income distribution follows Pareto law, we analyze the database of high income companies in Japan. We find a quantitative relation between the average capital of the companies and the Pareto index. The larger the average capital becomes, the smaller th
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 ca
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
