The impact of using less-vague priors, especially for the variance, when there are few comparisons, is under investigation by a number of researchers.
Appropriate informative priors for the variance of microarray data are currently under investigation by a number of groups [ 34, 35, 36].
Furthermore, the intuition we as readers have learned from years of interpreting point estimates and frequentist confidence intervals is to, roughly, treat them as calculations based on flat priors and then roughly incorporate them into whatever actual prior belief we have.
Since our algorithms are based on searching for clusters of common sites, microsatellites can score high, but tend not to be functional (for an exception see [ 9 ] ). We used the Tandem Repeat Remover [ 17 ] to mask microsatellites, with scoring parameters (2 5 5 75 20 20 500) (respectively; match, mismatch, indel scores; percentage priors for mismatch and indels; minimum score, and maximum length) which are as promiscuous as possible yet did not detect appreciable microsatellites in random sequences.
The health inequality point estimates and uncertainty bounds are mean posterior estimates and 95% credible intervals, respectively, computed from the extended beta-binomial model with flat priors and the traditionally used asymptotic normal approximations (e.g.
