Convergence of Dirichlet Measures and the Interpretation of Their Parameter.

摘要: The form of the Bayes estimate population mean with respect to a Dirichlet prior parameter has given rise interpretation that ( X ) is sample size. Furthermore, if made tend zero, then mathematically converges classical estimator, is, mean. This further general feeling allowing become small not only makes size but also it corresponds no information. By investigating limits distributions as tends various values, misleading think and smallness In fact, very values actually lot information concerning unknown true distribution would be generally unacceptable statistician.
