Abstract:The use of testing procedures for comparing two coefficients of variation (CVs) of independent populations is not extensively explored in the Bayesian context. We propose to address this issue through a test based on a measure of evidence, the Bayesian Discrepancy Measure, recently introduced in the literature. Computing the Bayesian Discrepancy Measure is straightforward when the CVs depend on a single parameter of the distribution. In contrast, it becomes more difficult when this simplification does not occu… Show more
