The phrase "a class of prior" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts discussing categories or types of prior knowledge or experiences, but it lacks clarity without additional context.
Example: "In our research, we identified a class of prior that significantly influenced the outcomes of the study."
Alternatives: "a category of prior" or "a type of prior".
The main feature of the models is that prior ignorance is not modelled by a fixed single prior distribution, but by a class of priors which is defined by upper and lower probabilities that can converge as statistical data accumulate.
This article presents a previously unexplored class of prior distributions, called Bayesian experts on biochemical reaction kinetics.
We start with the idea that objects can be described by multidimensional features, and a subject's prior over a class of objects is a probability distribution over those features [ 17, 18].
Today we have reverted to models from prior centuries -- a class of indentured servants who will be freed when they have served their time.
Early branching clades could represent a class of amastin surface proteins conserved in Leishmania prior to its radiation (Fig. 4, blue branches).
Use of NSAIDs, a class of medications used to treat acute gout, prior to ULD initiation was also significantly associated with non-adherence and the relationship persisted even when we controlled for use of prophylactic medications prior to ULD initiation.
The following lemma, that was proved by Salazar et al. (2012), provides the tail behavior for the integrated likelihood for p. Provided that n>k+1−a, the integrated likelihood for p under the class of priors (4) is a continuous function in [ 1,∞) and is such that L I (p y)=O(1) as p→∞.
More generally, the experimental design could itself be optimized in the sense of maximising sensitivity to the class of priors to be disclosed.
In all classifications, there is dependence on the products by class of priors and costs of misclassification.
