Abstract

A-priori knowledge in form of one exact probability distribution on the parameter space is questionable. For more general forms of a-priori information so-called non-precise a-priori densities are a suitable quantitative description. This kind of a-priori information can be used in a generalized version of Bayes’ theorem. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2004
