In this paper, the likelihood function and the posterior density function for the parameters given a symmetric trimmed sample are derived. It is assumed that the sample follows the half-normal model. By making use of the Bayesian framework, the predictive density for a single future response is...

We model daily catches of fishing boats in the Grand Bank fishing grounds. We use data on catches per species for a number of vessels collected by the European Union in the context of the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization. Many variables can be thought to influence the amount caught: a...

This paper deals with the issue of modeling daily catches of fishing boats in the Grand Bank fishing grounds. We have data on catches per species for a number of vessels collected by the European Union in the context of the North Atlantic Fisheries Organization. Many variables can be thought to...
