Description: This volume comprises papers based on some invited and contributed presentations at the Indo-U.S. Workshop on Bayesian Analysis in Statistics and Econometrics, held at the Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore, India. The volume is dedicated to Professor Morris H. DeGroot, who along with Professor Arnold Zellner, played a key role in the selection of the invited speakers at the workshop. Topics covered include Bayesian computing, contextual classification of remotely sensed data, discrete data and non-parametric Bayes analysis, elicitation of prior information, hierarchical and empirical Bayes interference, reliability and dose response modeling, robustness, and time series modeling and forecasting. All papers are written by experts in their respective fields. All statisticians and econometricians interested in making inference with Bayesian paradigm will like this volume.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Based on the papers presented at the Indo-U.S. Workshop on Bayesian Analysis in Statistics and Economics (BASE), Dec. 19-23, 1988 held in Bangalore, India.
