We deal with two-way contingency tables having ordered column categories. We use a row effects model wherein each interaction term is assumed to have a multiplicative form involving a row effect parameter and a fixed column score. We propose a methodology to cluster row effects in order to...

We focus on robust Bayesian estimation of the systematic risk of an asset in presence of outlying points. We assume that the returns follow independent normal distributions with a product partition structure on the parameters of interest. A Bayesian decision theoretical approach is used to...
