description

This paper offers an introduction to Bayesian reference analysis, often described as the more successful method to produce non-subjective, model-based, posterior distributions. The ideas are illustrated in detail with an interesting problem, the ratio of multinomial parameters, for which no model-based Bayesian analysis has been proposed. Signposts are provided to the huge related literature.
