This paper derives a class of first order probability matching priors and a complete catalog of the reference priors for the general multivariate linear calibration problem. In an important special case, a complete characterization of first order probability matching priors is given, and a...

Non-informative priors play crucial role in objective Bayesian analysis. Most popular ways of construction of non-informative priors are provided by the Jeffreys rule, matching probability principle, and reference prior approach. An alternative construction of non-informative priors is suggested...

We study the problems of hypothesis testing and point estimation for the correlation coefficient between the disturbances in the system of two seemingly unrelated regression equations. An objective Bayesian solution to each problem is proposed based on combined use of the invariant loss function...

Several reference priors and a general form of matching priors are derived for a stress–strength system, and it is concluded that none of the reference priors is a matching prior. The study shows that the matching prior performs better than Jeffreys prior and reference priors in meeting the...
