No, the goal of the tutorial below is to give you a true understanding of Bayes' Theorem so that can apply it correctly in the complexities of real life that exist beyond the exam sheet. Many ecological studies use the analysis of count data to arrive at biologically meaningful inferences. The best intro paper on MDL is probably Grünwald's “A Tutorial Introduction to the Minimum Description Length Principle”, which also addresses your question about priors in MDL (and mentions some consistency results, if I remember correctly). (Consider the example in chapter 1 of Bayesian Data Analysis of empirical probabilities for football point spreads, or the example of kidney cancer rates in chapter 2.) Similarly, subjective . Instead Bayesian data analysis and Bayes in decision theory. An extreme example like this illustrates that the new data you get from the mammography test does not replace the data you had at the outset about how improbable it was that the woman had breast cancer. Genuinely accessible to beginners: • An entire chapter on Bayes' rule, with intuitive examples and emphasis on application to data and models. This Web log maintains an alternative layout of the tutorials about Tanagra. Tanagra - Data Mining Tutorials. Each entry describes shortly the subject, it is followed by the link to the tutorial (pdf) and the dataset. Here, we introduce a hierarchical Bayesian approach to count data.
