Abstract:An evaluation of FBST, Fully Bayesian Significance Test, restricted to survival models is the main objective of the present paper. A Survival distribution should be chosen among the tree celebrated ones, lognormal, gamma, and Weibull. For this discrimination, a linear mixture of the three distributions is an important tool: the FBST is used to test the hypotheses defined on the mixture weights space. Another feature of the paper is that all three distributions are reparametrized in that all the six parameters are written as functions of the mean and the variance of the population been studied. Some numerical results from simulations with some right-censored data are considered.
Keywords:FBST  Mixture model  Model choice  Separate models  Significance test  Survival distributions
