4. Let T be a failure time having log logistic distribution with location and scale parameters...
Gelman's (2006) paper on noninformative prior distributions for variance parameters has attracted over 3,100 citations (Google scholar). The Half-t distribution introduced in that paper is now considered the "default" prior to use for any standard deviation parameter a) Show that if σ2 is generated from the following hierarchical model, a ~ Inv-Gamma(α-1/2, λ-1/A2), then the (positive) square root σ has a marginal Half-t(v, A) distribution with density Here, the "scale" A > 0 and "degrees-of-freedom" v > 0 are fixed...
Need help with stats true or false questions
Decide (with short explanations) whether the following statements are true or false a) We consider the model y-Ao +A(z) +E. Let (-0.01, 1.5) be a 95% confidence interval for A In this case, a t-test with significance level 1% rejects the null hypothesis Ho : A-0 against a two sided alternative. b) Complicated models with a lot of parameters are better for prediction then simple models with just a few parameters c)...
