摘要
This paper deals with a new Bayesian approach to the two-sample problem. For two independent samples, the interest is to determine whether the two samples are generated from the same population. At first, two Dirichlet processes are considered as priors for the true distributions generated the data. Then the concentration of the posterior distribution of the distance between the two processes is compared to the concentration of the prior distribution of the distance between the two processes through the relative belief ratio. Many theoretical properties of the procedure have been developed. Several examples have been discussed to illustrate the approach.
