Title : Honing priors - Bayesians' outlook on scientific judgements

Date : Wednesday, 22 January 2014

Time : 4.30 pm

Venue : Lecture Hall 6

Abstract:

Construction of prior for unknown parameter(s) is always an interesting
and challenging task of any investigator who has Bayesian thinking
(Gelman, 2012) and intends to follow Bayesian inference. This talk aims to
consolidate the notion of prior from its historical perspective to the
present day consideration in many scientific applications. A mechanism to
handle prior as a tool for calibrating a sensible sensitivity analysis in
selected statistical models will be discussed.
