摘要:
An empirical Bayes method for smoothing 2-way tables is presented. It is based on the use of the log linear model and a normal prior distribution. Estimation of the variance component in the prior is discussed, and 2 approximations are considered, 1 which utilizes the EM [expectation maximization] algorithm.
