A Bayesian Approach to Estimation of GPAs of University of Iowa Freshmen under Order Restrictions.

Albert, James H.

Journal of Educational Statistics, v19 n1 p1-21 Spr 1994

Analysis of a two-way sample of means is considered when corresponding population means are believed a priori to satisfy a partial order restriction. Simulation and the Gibbs sampler are used to summarize posterior distributions, and the posterior distribution is used to predict GPAs of first-year students at University of Iowa. (SLD)
