Computing the Bayesian highest posterior density credible sets for the lognormal mean

Abstract: SUMMARYContaminant concentration data collected at Superfund sites are typically positively skewed, and the log-normal distribution is commonly used to model such data distribution. U.S. EPA guidance documents recommend the use of H-statistics to compute the upper confidence limit (UCL) of the mean of a log-normal distribution. Recent work reported in the statistical literature has shown that the UCL calculated from the H-statistics can yield extremely high false positives. In the present article we compute th… Show more

“…Some researchers, who hesitate to use T -or F-distributions, prefer to use Bayesian approaches for statistical inference in LME models. Likewise, a Bayesian approach with credible intervals [38][39][40] can extended to construct Bayesian SCBs in LME models. However, the comparison of Bayesian credible sets to frequentist confidence intervals is not straightforward.…”

“…The highest posterior density (HPD) interval as the interval estimator in the Bayesian method is used to credible confidence intervals for MCMC estimates. For more information, see Turkkan and Pham-Gia [24] and Chen and Shao [25,26].…”

“…Sophisticated modelling and three-dimensional visualisation packages (i.e. SWISS-PROT [40], SCOP [41] and UCL [42]) and software for investigating protein-ligand complexes (LIGPLOTS [43]) can assist the identification of the possible interactions of the new affinity ligand. Moreover, automated docking programs (DOCK [44] and LUDI [45]) allow prediction of the structure, mode and free energy of the binding of ligand-protein complexes, while the generation of possible ligands can be exploited (HOOK [46]) by using chemical and steric characteristics of the proteinbinding site.…”
