Incidence of endometrial stromal polyps in \(k=70\) studys of female rats in control group of a 1977 study on the carcinogenic effects of a diabetic drug phenformin. For each of the \(k\) groups, \(y\) represents the number of rats who developed the tumors out of \(n\) total rats in the group.

datasets

A Bayesian data modeling scheme that performs four interconnected tasks: (i) characterizes the uncertainty of the elicited parametric prior; (ii) provides exploratory diagnostic for checking prior-data conflict; (iii) computes the final statistical prior density estimate; and (iv) executes macro- and micro-inference.
