Sample Size Determination in Bayesian Analysis

摘要: The problem of sample size determination in the context Bayesian analysis, decision theory and quality management is considered. For familiar, practically important, parameter a binomial distribution with beta prior, we present complete exact solutions for determining sizes when preset precision conditions are imposed on commonly used criteria such as posterior variance, Bayes risk expected value information. results obtained here also permit unifying treatment several problems practical interest an example shows how they can be managerial situation. A computer program personal handles all computational complexities available upon request.
