How vague is vague? A simulation study of the impact of the use of vague prior distributions in MCMC using WinBUGS
Abstract
There has been a recent growth in the use of Bayesian methods in medical research. The main reasons for this are the development of computer intensive simulation based methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), increases in computing power and the introduction of powerful software such as WinBUGS. This has enabled increasingly complex models to be fitted. The ability to fit these complex models has led to MCMC methods being used as a...
