What is marginal posterior distribution?
A distribution p(θ1|y) p ( θ 1 | y ) of the parameter of interest7 given the data is called a marginal posterior distribution, and it can be computed by integrating the nuisance parameter out of the full posterior distribution: p(θ1|y)=∫p(θ|y)dθ2 p ( θ 1 | y ) = ∫ p ( θ | y ) d θ 2 This integral can also be written as ...
What does the posterior distribution tell us?
Remember that the posterior distribution represents our uncertainty (or certainty) in q, after combining the information in the data (the likelihood) with what we knew before collecting data (the prior). To get some intuition, we could plot the posterior distribution so we can see what it looks like.
How do you find the posterior distribution?
i=1 xi (1 − p)n−∑n i=1 xi . ps(1 − p)n−sdp = B(s + 1,n − s + 1) where B(x, y) is the Beta function B(x, y) = Γ(x)Γ(y) Γ(x + y) . Hence the posterior distribution of P given X1 = x1,...,Xn = xn has PDF fP|X(p|x1,...,xn) = fX,P (x1,...,xn,p) fX(x1,...,xn) = 1 B(s + 1,n − s + 1) ps(1 − p)n−s.
What is a posterior in Bayesian statistics?
A posterior probability, in Bayesian statistics, is the revised or updated probability of an event occurring after taking into consideration new information. The posterior probability is calculated by updating the prior probability using Bayes' theorem.
