STRUCTURAL DISTRIBUTIONS: THE INEXACTLY TRANSITIVE CASE.

Abstract

Structural distributions are discussed for a class of invariant statistical models. These distributions are shown to be equal to the Bayes posterior distribution obtained from a certain 'uniform' prior related to the right invariant measure on the parameter space. As usual, the structural distributions have a stronger interpretation than the Bayesian ones. A 'consistency criterion' of Sprott's type is proved for these distributions. (Author)
