We discuss higher-order Bayesian asymptotics for a scalar parameter of interest in the presence of nuisance parameters, in order to perform accurate Bayesian inference even for small sample sizes. In particular, higher-order asymptotics for the marginal posterior distribution is obtained considering a matching prior. Numerical illustrations are given for models of practical interest.

Abstract
We discuss higher-order Bayesian asymptotics for a scalar parameter of interest in the presence of nuisance parameters, in order to perform accurate Bayesian inference even for small sample sizes. In particular, higher-order asymptotics for the marginal posterior distribution is obtained considering a matching prior. Numerical illustrations are given for models of practical interest.File in questo prodotto:
