Abstract

Bayes solutions for i.i.d. sampling from a decreasing density on the half line and for i.i.d. sampling from a symmetric unimodal density with an unknown mode are given. Posterior quantities are obtained as finite sums; Monte Carlo methods based on sampling finite Markov chains are developed for their evaluation.
