摘要
Bayesian approach to inference for Markov chains (MC) has many advantages over classical approach. This paper discusses how tests for one-sided and two-sided hypotheses involving two or more parameters of finite Markov chains can be carried out. The posterior probabilities (P-values), Bayes factors, highest density regions (HDR) and central credible sets (CCS) and other measures are calculated for uniform and umbrella pattern prior distributions and for several functions of the two parameters in a two-state Markov chain. A numerical example is also worked out. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
