Conditional probability distributions seem to have a bad reputation when it comes to rigorous treatment of conditioning. Technical arguments are published as manipulations of Radon–Nikodym derivatives, although we all secretly perform heuristic calculations using elementary definitions of conditional probabilities. In print, measurability and averaging properties substitute for intuitive ideas about random variables behaving like constants given particular conditioning information.
One way to engage in rigorous, guilt-free manipulation of conditional distributions is to treat them as disintegrating measures—families of probability measures concentrating on the level sets of a conditioning statistic. In this paper we present a little theory and a range of examples—from EM algorithms and the Neyman factorization, through Bayes theory and marginalization paradoxes—to suggest that disintegrations have both intuitive appeal and the rigor needed for many problems in mathematical statistics. 相似文献

We examine the difference between Bayesian and frequentist statistics in making statements about the relationship between observable values. We show how standard models under both paradigms can be based on an assumption of exchangeability and we derive useful covariance and correlation results for values from an exchangeable sequence. We find that such values are never negatively correlated, and are generally positively correlated under the models used in Bayesian statistics. We discuss the significance of this result as well as a phenomenon which often follows from the differing methodologies and practical applications of these paradigms – a phenomenon we call Bayes' effect. 相似文献

We consider a simple sequential problem that generalizes the gamble with a fair coin. A sequence [ X n ] ot {0,1} r.v.'s is observed, and at each step the gambler can bet on either 0 or 1. The sequence ( X n ) is assumed exchangeable. Except for the case of i.i.d. r.v.'s with even probability (the fair coin), there exists a strategy such that the cumulated expected gain diverges to +∞. 相似文献

A statistical treatment of the problem of division 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The problem of division is one of the most important problems in the emergence of probability. It has been long considered solved from a probabilistic viewpoint. However, we do not find the solution satisfactory. In this study, the problem is recasted as a statistical problem. The outcomes of matches of the game are considered as an infinitely exchangeable random sequence and predictors/estimators are constructed in light of de Finetti representation theorem. Bounds of the estimators are derived over wide classes of priors (mixing distributions). We find that, although conservative, the classical solutions are justifiable by our analysis while the plug-in estimates are too optimistic for the winning player.Acknowledgement.

A sufficient condition for the induced exchangeability or partial exchangeability of linear functions of exchangeable random variables is presented. The use of this result is illustrated through the establishment of conditional exchangeability for two sets of dependent random variables that are important in constructing conditionally distribution–free test procedures for two distinctly different problems. 相似文献
