Extending the Family of Bayesian Bootstraps and Exchangeable Urn Schemes

Pietro Muliere, Stephen Graham Walker · Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B (Statistical Methodology) · 1998

Summary A Bayesian bootstrap for a finite population with censored observations is introduced. It is shown to reduce to the finite population Bayesian bootstrap if there is no censoring and to reduce to the censored data Bayesian bootstrap for a large population. A class of general urn schemes for simulating exchangeable sequences of variables is introduced which is connected to the bootstrap method.
