Abstract:Suppose that just the lower bound of the probability of a measurable subset K in the parameter space Ω is a priori known, when inferences are to be made about measurable subsets A in Ω. Instead of eliciting a unique prior distribution, consider the class Г of all the distributions compatible with such bound. Under mild regularity conditions about the likelihood function, the range of the posterior probability of any A is found, as the prior distribution varies in Г. Such ranges are analysed according to the robust Bayesian viewpoint. Furthermore, some characterising properties of the extended likelihood sets are proved. The prior distributions in Г are then considered as a neighbour class of an elicited prior, comparing likelihood sets and HPD in terms of robustness.
Keywords:Bayesian robustness  likelihood sets  posterior ranges of set probabilities
