Prior distributions for the bivariate binomial

NICK POLSON and LARRY WASSERMAN

Department of Statistics, Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213, U.S.A.

We derive prior distributions for the bivariate binomial model using Bernardo's (1979) method. These priors are compared to the Jeifreys prior and to a prior proposed by Crowder & Sweeting (1989). The priors possess desirable symmetry properties since we allow them to depend on the parameter of interest.

Key Words: Jeifreys prior • Multivariate binomial • Nuisance parameter • Reference prior
