A method is introduced for computing a Bayesian 95 per cent posterior probability region for vaccine efficacy. This method assumes independent vague gamma prior distributions for the incidence rates on each arm of the trial, and a Poisson likelihood for the counts of incident cases of infection. The
This paper finds the unique maximum likelihood estimator of, and conservative confidence intervals for, the unknown number of different coupons in the coupon collector's problem. This problem is also known as the problem of estimating the abundance of wildlife. The techniques developed here can be e
