Some cautionary tales about Bayesian predictive inference
Abstract
Two misunderstandings, frequently arising in Bayesian predictive inference, are discussed. The first deals with the data generating mechanism, while the second consists in overestimating the role played by asymptotic exchangeability. Some consequences of such misunderstandings are highlighted through examples. --- Source: arXiv:2607.19206v1 - http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19206v1 PDF: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.19206v1 Original Link: http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19206v1
