Some cautionary tales about Bayesian predictive inference
Emanuela Dreassi, Fabrizio Leisen, Luca Pratelli +1
Two misunderstandings, frequently arising in Bayesian predictive inference, are discussed. The first deals with the data generating mechanism, while the second consists in overesti…
Weak convergence of predictive distributions
Fabrizio Leisen, Luca Pratelli, Pietro Rigo
Let be a sequence of random variables with values in a standard Borel space . We investigate the condition \begin{gather}\label{x56w1q} E\bigl\{f(X_{n+1})\mid X_1,\ldots…
Estimation and goodness-of-fit testing for non-negative random variables with explicit Laplace transform
Lucio Barabesi, Antonio Di Noia, Marzia Marcheselli +2
Many flexible families of positive random variables exhibit non-closed forms of the density and distribution functions and this feature is considered unappealing for modelling purp…
Bayesian nonparametric inference on a Fréchet class
Emanuela Dreassi, Luca Pratelli, Pietro Rigo
Let and be probability spaces and a sequence of random variables with values in $(\mathcal{X}\times\mathcal{Y}…
